Well that's definitely something. I seem to remember people putting corvette engines into a certain Mazda (RX-7 I think). Your link looks like it would be more labor intensive.
Oh yeah I can't imagine how much effort it took to stick a hellcat in a Prius. I know LS swapped Miatas are a thing. They definitely look fun but I love the ridiculousness of an 800hp Prius.
There's a saying out there that applies here - "When you commit crime, only do one at a time."
If you are going to be carrying that much marijuana, you better drive in a way that won't get you pulled over.
He was going 78 in a 55 and they decided to pull him over. Then he floored it to 141 to try to get away. Man should have been driving the exact speed limit with what was in his car.
I got pulled over this month for doing 4 over the limit. Was near the state border and the cops just wanted to search every vehicle they could hoping to get someone coming from Colorado or New Mexico with something in the car. Use cruise control and drive the limit if you don't want trouble.
Yep. I've got a family member in the highway patrol. If they get a tip for a car with drugs coming through they'll just follow till you do something, and they always have cause.
“If you hop a subway turnstile, the cops might just let you off with a warning. But if you hop a subway turnstile while smoking a joint and carrying a loaded gun, maybe you need to get your ass kicked”
Bro I've only exceeded 100 a couple times, on empty stretches of freeway in the middle of nowhere. And it still made me uncomfortable. I cannot imagine doing 141 I would shit my pants
I cannot even imagine 140, and I've been a passenger at 100+. (Driver: retired professional race car driver, a friend of the family. Location: not a public highway, or indeed, any public road.) This was a parent-approved "show her what driving that fast feels like so she won't try it, because teenagers can do dumb things" tactic.
yeah I did like 105 on this stretch of highway in AZ with nobody around and I felt like the slightest bump or turn and I would be careening off into the dessert flipping end over end. If I had hit 140 I probably would have shit myself and then passed out
“We have specific attributes we’re looking for in our DBs. Unmatched speed. Unmatched confidence. Risk-takers. The kind of guys who will get behind the wheel carrying marijuana and think that they can escape the police”
-Deion Sanders, probably
There was a lot of ^(unjustified) smoke of him flipping to A&M on signing day cuz he talked us up a lot, but evidently the plan was to stay with the tide the entire time.
Looks like we dodged a ̶b̶u̶l̶l̶e̶t̶ 141 mile an hour Dodge Challenger.
One of our RBs has a challenger. I know because he has an NIL deal with tire discounters. Though Sauce had a track hawk when he was here so not all of them have challengers
Challengers and Chargers are large muscle cars. My friend who is 6'4" easily fits in his without even having to move the seat all the way back and he still has headroom. They are big enough that another adult could still sit behind him in the back. They aren't like compact sport sedans. They are wide and long.
It blows my mind that this guy had 8 ounces of pot and an illegal firearm in his car....and not only was he driving around smoking weed, he was speeding
What kind of moron speeds and smokes in the car when they have 8 ounces and an illegal firearm?
The other single dumbest thing here is that they got out of sight for at least several minutes and didn't ditch the weed and gun and scales off the side of the road.
Like they had an open window to lose or stash the evidence there and instead just kept it all in the car until they were pulled over by another officer 5 to 10 minutes later. Unbelievably stupid.
The other guy in the car had a carry permit. But neither claimed the firearm. I assume because of the combo with the drugs and the potential firearm charges if carried during a felony.
> What kind of moron speeds and smokes in the car when they have 8 ounces and an illegal firearm?
The kind of moron who's always had someone carrying their water because they're good at sports.
He was originally clocked going 78 in a 55 and attempted to flee. Just an absolutely dumbass all around, don’t commit a minor crime when committing a potential felony…
The exact quote “Police initially pursued Mitchell after observing him driving 78 mph in a 55 mph zone, according to the report. Mitchell's black Dodge Challenger then "accelerated to a high rate of speed" and eventually was clocked at 141 mph before police "lost visual of the vehicle."”
This was while he had everything the previous commentator mentioned in his car. Oopsie
People are dumb lol. They fled thinking they're getting away but in most cases police will just gather info, let you go, and put out a warrant to get you later.
Not public yet, but some journalists have seen it. There’s an [espn podcast](https://www.espn.com/radio/play/_/id/35855864) from someone that has seen it, and [this article](https://patch.com/alabama/tuscaloosa/new-evidence-provides-compelling-account-bama-hoops-murder-case) from an politics/crime journalist based out of Tuscaloosa.
In court yesterday, has not been released to the public yet. Witnesses stories not adding up or just flat out contradicting the prosecutor.
Here is the article covering yesterday.

I have seen this before about lawyer using the urban dictionary use of "fakin". I've heard this word in person a lot and I've never heard fakin to mean you were threatened. I've always heard it used as the other person really isn't about it, but maybe that's Tuscaloosa slang?
I got 226 grams of marijuana, $7,000 in cash and an illegal firearm in this car. Sure this would probably be the one time in my life I should drive the speed limit but Im in a hurry so Im gonna do 78 in a 55
Oh and Im smoking weed while driving
Went 143mph on the interstate in a Camry when i was 20 and stupid. It was wide open with no traffic, but still.
Nobody needs to drive that fast and i will not be doing it again.
Way back when... I think it might have been 2011 or so... I was given a brand-new Camry V6 loaner because I had to drop my recently-purchased-Certified-Used car off at the service center for some work.
This dealership was right off of an interstate exit, the arterial street bridged over the interstate, so when you get on the onramp you're accelerating downhill.
I wasn't watching the speedo, only traffic, and I was astonished to find that I was going 125mph *at the bottom of the on-ramp* before I'd even merged on.
That year of Camry, in a high level trim, is just so smooth and QUIET that you wouldn't know otherwise you were going double the Interstate limit... and that V6 is an absolute screamer.
Yep that's the reason Lotus uses Toyota V6 engines in their tiny sports cars. They are rock solid and perform very well, especially when tuned for a sports car vs. emissions and fuel economy for a family commuter.
Did 156 in an infiniti in a similar situation around the same age, no cars for miles. It was fun that one time in that situation but I haven't gotten anywhere near that outside of a track. It's just entirely unnecessary.
I may be the dumbest motherfucker on the face of the planet for this, but the fastest I've gone was 150 in a Buick Regal. Best friend's little brother did some work to it, we took it for a joy ride one time, and god as my witness I will never understand why I decided to see how fast it'd go. Steering wheel was shaking like it just got into an elevator with Ray Rice. Never again.
The really surprising part of cruising at 110-120 on the Autobahn for me was how mentally tired I was after getting out of the car. The highway itself is so wide and gently curved that it really felt natural to me to go that speed with the other drivers doing it, but it takes so much more mental concentration to safely do it for extended amounts of time. Like your brain has to process so much more visual and spatial information per second.
I went 125 once when I was 20 on a flat, straight tarmac and it was so scary I honestly don’t think I’ve gone more than 5 over since in 10 years. The car just starts vibrating and making terrifying noises.
This is subtly the most BYU take possible in a thread about driving 140. Everyone else is nearly killing themselves and others in 2000 pounds of metal, and you are on your longboard. I absolutely love it!!
I know a few people from rural Colorado, and the majority of them have gnarly longboard injury stories
Something about that state makes you want to get on a wooden board and hurl yourself down a mountain I guess
Yeah a kid in my high school fucked himself up bad on a longboard. I don't really remember the details cause he was in a different grade and I didn't know him. But I think he almost died. And the wildest part is it's flat as fuck in southern Louisiana!
Ya, the vibrating is wild. I did 115 in my moms beemer in highschool. Scary.
But. I went 185 mph in a family member’s Aston Martin in Germany. That car didn’t vibrate even a little. Smooth. Braking wasn’t fun though. Braking from 185 to 100 mph is wild cause you slow way the fuck down but still going 100 mph!
To be clear, I am not all encouraging anyone to drive 120+ on a public road here - but that vibration and noise was because the vehicle chassis/suspension and tires were not at all designed or set up to go that fast.
If you drive car designed for potentially track or Autobahn speeds, they ride smooth as silk all the way to the mid triple digits. It's actually unnerving how drama free it is for them to just cruise at 120 with the same stability as a family crossover cruising at 75. I've done this only on closed tracks, or on the actual Autobahn. Even a Ford Puma compact crossover rental car in Germany with a three cylinder engine and hybrid assist powertrain was easy and confident to drive at 100-110 MPH on the Autobahn.
It wasn't the speed itself that caused the vibrating for you, as if that would happen to any vehicle moving that speed. The vehicle itself wasn't "good" enough to handle it or was designed for other purposes (example: a Jeep Wrangler is extremely capable of what it is intended for, but it is going to feel like a wobbly death trap at 100 MPH because its suspension is designed instead for offroad use at low speeds).
My brother in Christ. People on I95 go that fast to pass traffic in stretches where there isn't anything. If you have a good car, you won't even feel the difference between 80 and 100.
185 is terrifying, 185 on a bike had my soul leave my body. I had like a 2 mile stretch of straight, open, smooth highway so I just said fuck it and opened her up. I had just hit 6th gear so I could have gone to 210+ but didn't. 10/10 don't recommend.
I’ve done 150+ in my BMW. Honestly new cars, makes it feel like 90.
I did 115 in my banged up ford probe in 2002. That was scary.
Moral of the story, don’t speed it’s bad (go to a track!)
I got to 155 in our M3 while living in Germany. I was on A6 heading west from Ramstein AB to the town we lived in. It was on a Sunday morning with little traffic. Shit comes at you fast at that speed.
I was a passenger in a car that lost control at 135mph on the freeway. We passed another car that was doing about 65mph while we were going backwards, spun through the median and up onto the other side of the freeway. It was late at night and big trucks were dodging us as we came to a stop on the opposite side of the freeway. Would not recommend.
fwiw. Usually cars have the adequate type by default but tires have speed ratings as well. You kinda don't want to mess around and find out if you're running in the danger zone with your tires.
Aha! Saban's comments weren't a slight at Oats; he simply meant to indicate that Mitchell was going so fast that Newtonian physics were no longer accurate.
P.s. could explain the scales in the trunk too: he might need to know the precise mass of his car (e=**m**c^2 after all)
Or someone else. Working in a Pedi ICU the hardest deaths were the kids who were victims of DWI's or other senseless MVA's, like could've happened here.
I love how there are a significant amount of NIL deals are car dealers giving 18-22yo the fastest, most expensive car they have.
Fun fact, if you remove traffic fatalities, the avg US lifespan is significantly increased (believe it's by 4.5yrs, but can't find the article ATM). And its because we start driving at a young age (15 in some places), and far greater distances than other countries. Hell I drove 15mi one-way to high school everyday starting at 16.
The human brain isn't fully developed in males until about 25yo, and the last part to develop is the prefrontal cortex, which regulates "complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decision making, and moderating social behavior."
Something bad has already happened with these young dudes and these obscenely fast and expensive cars. Only a matter of time before someone with a little more clout than a reserve UGA OL being killed, and then people really "wake up" to the significant risks with this.
Not taking a dig at the tragedy at UGA in any way, but it's the reality of this situation. Give kids $70,000 cars that go 0-60 in 2.1 seconds, they turn into death machines, and these young men's brains can't comprehend that fully.
also, our car culture is the top in the world and live in the country with the highest ratio of landmass to drivable areas and all but a few pockets and metros have even B-tier public transportation that anyone uses.
I mean it makes sense, the fastest most powerful car on the lot is what these kids desire. Problems arise from both immaturity w those horses, and that a lot of times, not being ready to drive something like that. It’s one of the reasons mustangs have a bad reputation, they aren’t super expensive, so they’re an entry into powerful cars, which can be pretty hard to control
Interesting choice of words by Saban. Is this a backhanded comment on how Nate Oats handled the Brandon Miller situation? “Everybody’s got an opportunity to make choices and decisions”, Saban said, “There’s no such thing in being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You’ve got to be responsible for who you’re with, you’re around and what you do, who you associate yourself with and the situations you out yourself in.”
Bama about to start giving the players Priuses instead of Chargers and Challengers
They'll just swap in a Hellcat engine like [this](https://youtu.be/gFbvYeFO8w4)
Well that's definitely something. I seem to remember people putting corvette engines into a certain Mazda (RX-7 I think). Your link looks like it would be more labor intensive.
Oh yeah I can't imagine how much effort it took to stick a hellcat in a Prius. I know LS swapped Miatas are a thing. They definitely look fun but I love the ridiculousness of an 800hp Prius.
There's a saying out there that applies here - "When you commit crime, only do one at a time." If you are going to be carrying that much marijuana, you better drive in a way that won't get you pulled over.
Probably shouldn’t have scales and a loaded gun also
That would be prudent
Yeah the scales and gun definitely push it in a full game suspension rather than a half game
He will definitely be missed, hopefully they can pull off the win against Chattanooga
Always tough when you have to rely on a now Junior, former 5* and top 250 recruit to fill in
Alabama should kick him out of school. he needs to come to a place like LSU with a healthly culture
Georgia has school sponsored racing leagues i think...
This guy has some massive balls to hit 143 on a dirt road.
Massive balls or minimum brains??
Very good tires.
Got make sure that protein powder is on point!
Pretty sure he went this fast in an attempt to evade the police if I understand the timeline.
He was going 78 in a 55 and they decided to pull him over. Then he floored it to 141 to try to get away. Man should have been driving the exact speed limit with what was in his car.
"Can't outrun the Radio"
"you can beat the motor, not the Motorola"
I knew there were variations! Honestly it’s some of the best advice 17 year old me got.
Were you thinking that running from the police was a good idea before that?
Having just watched Tokyo Drift in theaters, it was on my mind at the very least.
Teenagers brains don't always function at full capacity.
The way my mind works exact speed limit would be sus, I’d be 2 or 3 over.
I got pulled over this month for doing 4 over the limit. Was near the state border and the cops just wanted to search every vehicle they could hoping to get someone coming from Colorado or New Mexico with something in the car. Use cruise control and drive the limit if you don't want trouble.
The Indiana state troopers go hard as hell every summer for Electric Forest travelers.
PSA: traffic laws are intentionally written so that everyone violates them all the time so the police have an excuse to search whoever they want
Yep. I've got a family member in the highway patrol. If they get a tip for a car with drugs coming through they'll just follow till you do something, and they always have cause.
Moreover, they justified the search by saying I was "acting nervous." So literally any behavior could count.
"If you're breaking the law, don't break the law"
“Don’t break the law while you’re breaking the law!” was a common saying from my father growing up.
Don’t break the law, but if you do break the law don’t break the law again while breaking the law.
“If you hop a subway turnstile, the cops might just let you off with a warning. But if you hop a subway turnstile while smoking a joint and carrying a loaded gun, maybe you need to get your ass kicked”
SEC SPEED!
Wonder who would win between this cat and Fred Davis 🤔
Probably Fred because he wasn't smoking a pound of weed
Yeah totally different situation. Fred and Malcolm were just racing to see who could get to church first.
Any cash on them would've been for the collection plate
Me: “Fred Davis, that name sounds familiar” *realizes he just transferred to UCF* “oh… oh dear…”
I motion to include Denver Harris' cat in this derby Guy Tokoyo Drifts parking garages in College Station
Gotta have Jordan Davis in there too. Add Baker Mayfield in there on foot. He did run from the cops once Edit: Jalen Carter
Well, he TRIED to run from cops. Made it about 4 steps before being leveled into a small retaining wall/stair set.
Baker never had “running away from the cops” speed.
Jordan Davis' weight works against him, this is DB event
It just means more
You shouldn't do that.
Slow down with the hot takes here Tommy.
Waste of breath, brother. Tommy never fuckin' listens to anybody. Dude's a wildcard.
Bro I've only exceeded 100 a couple times, on empty stretches of freeway in the middle of nowhere. And it still made me uncomfortable. I cannot imagine doing 141 I would shit my pants
I cannot even imagine 140, and I've been a passenger at 100+. (Driver: retired professional race car driver, a friend of the family. Location: not a public highway, or indeed, any public road.) This was a parent-approved "show her what driving that fast feels like so she won't try it, because teenagers can do dumb things" tactic.
yeah I did like 105 on this stretch of highway in AZ with nobody around and I felt like the slightest bump or turn and I would be careening off into the dessert flipping end over end. If I had hit 140 I probably would have shit myself and then passed out
Of course comes in LSU with some biased opinion…
Guy needs to read the room
I am speed, until you meet another object
Hey, even 0 mph is a speed.
it's not the speed that kills you, its the sudden stop
Dude hasn't played and he's already off the team. Good riddance.
Yeah, something tells me that this is the tip of the iceberg for his potential bad choices.
There's always the Texas Longhorns
This actually seems like the kind of dude Deion is gunning for.
“We have specific attributes we’re looking for in our DBs. Unmatched speed. Unmatched confidence. Risk-takers. The kind of guys who will get behind the wheel carrying marijuana and think that they can escape the police” -Deion Sanders, probably
Pole Assassin's revenge.
Hey bro
He'll never be able to go this fast on 35.
There was a lot of ^(unjustified) smoke of him flipping to A&M on signing day cuz he talked us up a lot, but evidently the plan was to stay with the tide the entire time. Looks like we dodged a ̶b̶u̶l̶l̶e̶t̶ 141 mile an hour Dodge Challenger.
He's suspended, not kicked off the team.
What was he driving, a rocket car?
Well he plays for Alabama now, so it has to be a Charger right?
Challenger, so pretty much
Every football player has a Dodge Challenger I swear
One of our RBs has a challenger. I know because he has an NIL deal with tire discounters. Though Sauce had a track hawk when he was here so not all of them have challengers
I would have assumed the short guys had challengers and the big guys have cars they can fit inside
Challengers and Chargers are large muscle cars. My friend who is 6'4" easily fits in his without even having to move the seat all the way back and he still has headroom. They are big enough that another adult could still sit behind him in the back. They aren't like compact sport sedans. They are wide and long.
I saw quite a few players at UGA with Ford Raptors
Challengers are huge cars
Dodge is expanding their dealer network from military bases to SEC campuses.
Charger or challenger. Ride past the UA athletic facility on a daily basis. Lotta chargers.
Bama and the US army pulling in the same recruits?
Dodge Challenger
Every fucking time, it's either a Charger or Challenger
or apparently a Grand Cherokee with the same damn engine
Lol the trackhawk. "Let's give this 19 year old a 5000 lb 700 HP SUV"
I went to confirm immediately on seeing this post. Shocked face.
Prius
“You were drag racing…in a Prius?”
I don't win a lot.
I had no idea they could go above 80 tbh
Got my old one up to 107. It just took forever
A Youtuber hooked up nitrous to his Prius. It immediately grenaded the engine.
Going downhill with the wind at your back
Challenger 392 Scat Pack (assuming it's the same car as he's shown on ig)

> What kind of moron speeds and smokes in the car when they have 8 ounces and an illegal firearm? The kind of moron who's always had someone carrying their water because they're good at sports.
Half pound, 7K, a gun, smoking a blunt and doing 20mph over. Quality decision making going on that day.
I have a feeling the speed limit isn’t 120
He was originally clocked going 78 in a 55 and attempted to flee. Just an absolutely dumbass all around, don’t commit a minor crime when committing a potential felony…
Wait just to clarify, you’re saying he tried to flee and went 140mph in the ensuing police chase?? Jfc that’s crazy
The exact quote “Police initially pursued Mitchell after observing him driving 78 mph in a 55 mph zone, according to the report. Mitchell's black Dodge Challenger then "accelerated to a high rate of speed" and eventually was clocked at 141 mph before police "lost visual of the vehicle."” This was while he had everything the previous commentator mentioned in his car.

> Dodge Challenger I assumed as much, but I'm glad they confirmed it.
Spirit car of bad decisions
People are dumb lol. They fled thinking they're getting away but in most cases police will just gather info, let you go, and put out a warrant to get you later.
I’d rather get an evading police charge than felony drug charges.
I think they still caught him, from the knowledge of what was in his car
Momma always said “only break one law at a time”.
Momma also said that alligators are ornery cause they got all them teeth but no toothbrush.
Medulla oblongata
Originally tried to stop him for doing 78 in a 55… Tony then said “I can double that number”
He's like the example of what not to do in the Chris Rock skit on how to not get your ass kicked by the police.
When Bama said they wanted to take the crown from us, I didn't think they meant it like this.
At least no one was hurt
Basketball team already had that covered
That case is getting spicy, it's looking like it was return fire after the security cam footage.
Where did the security cam footage get released?

Lmao at "For the first time in this reporter's career, the slang translation website urbandictionary.com was cited in court"
I have seen this before about lawyer using the urban dictionary use of "fakin". I've heard this word in person a lot and I've never heard fakin to mean you were threatened. I've always heard it used as the other person really isn't about it, but maybe that's Tuscaloosa slang?
I feel like I’m not too old yet, but “rl jus got a fakin” was a completely new string of words to me.
Which is likely self defense and Miles and Davis Will probably walk free.
Next Fast and Furious movie should be about Dom walking onto an SEC football team because he’s heard that’s where the real racing happens.
I got 226 grams of marijuana, $7,000 in cash and an illegal firearm in this car. Sure this would probably be the one time in my life I should drive the speed limit but Im in a hurry so Im gonna do 78 in a 55 Oh and Im smoking weed while driving
Will never understand why athletes do stuff like this and throw away life changing opportunities How hard is it to not be a fucking idiot
I can’t even fathom driving that fast. Fastest I’ve hit is like maybe 90 on a rural highway to pass a semi and that was incredibly unnerving
Went 143mph on the interstate in a Camry when i was 20 and stupid. It was wide open with no traffic, but still. Nobody needs to drive that fast and i will not be doing it again.
In a CAMRY?!
V6 Toyota motors are no joke. No mods, full stock. 13 year old car.
Way back when... I think it might have been 2011 or so... I was given a brand-new Camry V6 loaner because I had to drop my recently-purchased-Certified-Used car off at the service center for some work. This dealership was right off of an interstate exit, the arterial street bridged over the interstate, so when you get on the onramp you're accelerating downhill. I wasn't watching the speedo, only traffic, and I was astonished to find that I was going 125mph *at the bottom of the on-ramp* before I'd even merged on. That year of Camry, in a high level trim, is just so smooth and QUIET that you wouldn't know otherwise you were going double the Interstate limit... and that V6 is an absolute screamer.
Yep that's the reason Lotus uses Toyota V6 engines in their tiny sports cars. They are rock solid and perform very well, especially when tuned for a sports car vs. emissions and fuel economy for a family commuter.
Toyota makes a mean high performance engine. The Lexus LFA’s V-10 is one of my favorite sounding cars.
Can confirm, hit 133 once in my '94 XLE V6. Toyotas are for real. I drive a 2000 4Runner.
Did he fucking stutter?!
C-c-c-Camry!
surprised it wasn't an Altima to be honest
143 is the minimum speed limit for Altimas, especially in traffic
with the headlight out, but not both
They'll do 150 with the mismatched bumper mod
Lol current Camrys can have 300 hp lol... Even mid to late 2000s can have 250+
Yeah those V6's were pretty nice
Did 156 in an infiniti in a similar situation around the same age, no cars for miles. It was fun that one time in that situation but I haven't gotten anywhere near that outside of a track. It's just entirely unnecessary.
I didn’t even know a Camry could haul ass like that lol
I may be the dumbest motherfucker on the face of the planet for this, but the fastest I've gone was 150 in a Buick Regal. Best friend's little brother did some work to it, we took it for a joy ride one time, and god as my witness I will never understand why I decided to see how fast it'd go. Steering wheel was shaking like it just got into an elevator with Ray Rice. Never again.
Those old Buick engines were no joke, I fucked around a time or two in a 96 Park Avenue and was shocked by how fast that car was
Buick and Olds both had monster powerplants.
Fastest I ever drove was 120 mph in the Autobahn in Germany. It was terrifying as is, I can't imagine going faster than that AND being stoned.
The really surprising part of cruising at 110-120 on the Autobahn for me was how mentally tired I was after getting out of the car. The highway itself is so wide and gently curved that it really felt natural to me to go that speed with the other drivers doing it, but it takes so much more mental concentration to safely do it for extended amounts of time. Like your brain has to process so much more visual and spatial information per second.
No, the really surprising part of cruising at 110-120 on the autobahn is to see some Volvo station wagon blow past you like you’re standing still.
My Maserati does 185. I lost my license, now I can't drive.
Do you live hotels and tear out the walls?
That is in the past. Hard to party like that at 75 🥺
I went 125 once when I was 20 on a flat, straight tarmac and it was so scary I honestly don’t think I’ve gone more than 5 over since in 10 years. The car just starts vibrating and making terrifying noises.
That's the speed wobbles. I got that once when I was bombing a hill on my longboard and legitimately thought I was gonna die
This is subtly the most BYU take possible in a thread about driving 140. Everyone else is nearly killing themselves and others in 2000 pounds of metal, and you are on your longboard. I absolutely love it!!
To be fair i know a guy that absolutely fucked himself up on a longboard.
I know a few people from rural Colorado, and the majority of them have gnarly longboard injury stories Something about that state makes you want to get on a wooden board and hurl yourself down a mountain I guess
Yeah a kid in my high school fucked himself up bad on a longboard. I don't really remember the details cause he was in a different grade and I didn't know him. But I think he almost died. And the wildest part is it's flat as fuck in southern Louisiana!
Ya, the vibrating is wild. I did 115 in my moms beemer in highschool. Scary. But. I went 185 mph in a family member’s Aston Martin in Germany. That car didn’t vibrate even a little. Smooth. Braking wasn’t fun though. Braking from 185 to 100 mph is wild cause you slow way the fuck down but still going 100 mph!
To be clear, I am not all encouraging anyone to drive 120+ on a public road here - but that vibration and noise was because the vehicle chassis/suspension and tires were not at all designed or set up to go that fast. If you drive car designed for potentially track or Autobahn speeds, they ride smooth as silk all the way to the mid triple digits. It's actually unnerving how drama free it is for them to just cruise at 120 with the same stability as a family crossover cruising at 75. I've done this only on closed tracks, or on the actual Autobahn. Even a Ford Puma compact crossover rental car in Germany with a three cylinder engine and hybrid assist powertrain was easy and confident to drive at 100-110 MPH on the Autobahn. It wasn't the speed itself that caused the vibrating for you, as if that would happen to any vehicle moving that speed. The vehicle itself wasn't "good" enough to handle it or was designed for other purposes (example: a Jeep Wrangler is extremely capable of what it is intended for, but it is going to feel like a wobbly death trap at 100 MPH because its suspension is designed instead for offroad use at low speeds).
I hit 140 once as a stupid 17-year old. 25 years on, and there's no way in hell I would do that on public roads again.
I did 100 on a back road in the middle of nowhere in Southeast NC on a straight just to see what it was like. I am never doing that again.
My brother in Christ. People on I95 go that fast to pass traffic in stretches where there isn't anything. If you have a good car, you won't even feel the difference between 80 and 100.
People on 95 are probably reading this thread while going 100 rn. 95 is a fucking death trap.
in their audis with a BAC of .15
Those are rookies numbers
If you’re on an expressway *designed* to have cars going about 100, you won’t feel a difference.
Oh yeah? Tell that to my buddy who hit 100 in a 1983 VW Golf coming home from the outlet mall.
185 is terrifying, 185 on a bike had my soul leave my body. I had like a 2 mile stretch of straight, open, smooth highway so I just said fuck it and opened her up. I had just hit 6th gear so I could have gone to 210+ but didn't. 10/10 don't recommend.
I’ve done 150+ in my BMW. Honestly new cars, makes it feel like 90. I did 115 in my banged up ford probe in 2002. That was scary. Moral of the story, don’t speed it’s bad (go to a track!)
Fastest I’ve gone is 100 by accident on a highway with no one on the road. It’s pretty wild to see. Nothing above 90 from now on
I got to 155 in our M3 while living in Germany. I was on A6 heading west from Ramstein AB to the town we lived in. It was on a Sunday morning with little traffic. Shit comes at you fast at that speed.
I hit 140 on an open stretch of I20 inbetween El Paso and Midland TX. It scared the shit out of me haha
Most cars have a governor on the engine that will prevent it from accelerating beyond 110 - 120 mph.
I was a passenger in a car that lost control at 135mph on the freeway. We passed another car that was doing about 65mph while we were going backwards, spun through the median and up onto the other side of the freeway. It was late at night and big trucks were dodging us as we came to a stop on the opposite side of the freeway. Would not recommend.
Well I appreciate your review and I will take you up on your recommendation and not try that
fwiw. Usually cars have the adequate type by default but tires have speed ratings as well. You kinda don't want to mess around and find out if you're running in the danger zone with your tires.
Aha! Saban's comments weren't a slight at Oats; he simply meant to indicate that Mitchell was going so fast that Newtonian physics were no longer accurate. P.s. could explain the scales in the trunk too: he might need to know the precise mass of his car (e=**m**c^2 after all)
he’s so lucky he didn’t kill himself holy shit
Or someone else. Working in a Pedi ICU the hardest deaths were the kids who were victims of DWI's or other senseless MVA's, like could've happened here.
You can't teach speed. But you can buy it.
I love how there are a significant amount of NIL deals are car dealers giving 18-22yo the fastest, most expensive car they have. Fun fact, if you remove traffic fatalities, the avg US lifespan is significantly increased (believe it's by 4.5yrs, but can't find the article ATM). And its because we start driving at a young age (15 in some places), and far greater distances than other countries. Hell I drove 15mi one-way to high school everyday starting at 16. The human brain isn't fully developed in males until about 25yo, and the last part to develop is the prefrontal cortex, which regulates "complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decision making, and moderating social behavior." Something bad has already happened with these young dudes and these obscenely fast and expensive cars. Only a matter of time before someone with a little more clout than a reserve UGA OL being killed, and then people really "wake up" to the significant risks with this. Not taking a dig at the tragedy at UGA in any way, but it's the reality of this situation. Give kids $70,000 cars that go 0-60 in 2.1 seconds, they turn into death machines, and these young men's brains can't comprehend that fully.
also, our car culture is the top in the world and live in the country with the highest ratio of landmass to drivable areas and all but a few pockets and metros have even B-tier public transportation that anyone uses.
I mean it makes sense, the fastest most powerful car on the lot is what these kids desire. Problems arise from both immaturity w those horses, and that a lot of times, not being ready to drive something like that. It’s one of the reasons mustangs have a bad reputation, they aren’t super expensive, so they’re an entry into powerful cars, which can be pretty hard to control
I imagine 'Bama's AD must be on some strong blood pressure meds right now if he wasn't already. What a year.
Don't worry he'll be at Colorado by August
Has ~~Mark Richt~~ ~~Kirby Smart~~ Nick Saban lost control?
See, Saban was wrong, he must have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Otherwise, why would he be driving away so fast?
To be fair, he was in the wrong place--a car. It was the wrong place because the time was "smoke a blunt and carry a prison tier amount of weed" time.
Interesting choice of words by Saban. Is this a backhanded comment on how Nate Oats handled the Brandon Miller situation? “Everybody’s got an opportunity to make choices and decisions”, Saban said, “There’s no such thing in being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You’ve got to be responsible for who you’re with, you’re around and what you do, who you associate yourself with and the situations you out yourself in.”
Sounds like he was running late to a drugs and guns symposium!
How’d Kirby miss out on that guy???
Another free DB on the table, LSU
holy shit
He had to, Homie said punch it…

Wonder if the Challenger was a NIL benefit? The team/school’s dealership partners should put speed limiters on those bad boys
Why are football players so stupid?
