Yes, even though I have been over 240 mph (in a race car) I have to admit it was a little harry to snap a pic whith one hand while the other hand is on the steering wheel, and you are looking at the camera to focus it at over 160 (I actually hit 173 mph before I lifted), and I will admit it was a little dumb to do it on a highway (15 North) headed to Las Vegas from San Diego, but like the poster says..........Boredom will make you do crazy stuff sometimes.


Thanks everyone for the nice/cool comments on this pic. I still love this pic and I just wanted to post it up here again for more people to see.

My current gf is still the best though. I'll floor it and get sideways, and she wouldn't even twitch...and still talk to me about how good the "O.C." was last night...
She's a keeper lol.

Yes, all this is true. I was actually on the I-15 northbound headed into the Navada border at like 2:00 AM, when I took that picture, honestly. Not only was I driving one handed and taking the picture I was also on the cell phone with SinCity350Z, hahahaha. Looking back it wasn't too smart but I was overcome with being bored. Driving one handed, head cocked to the left (holding the cell phone with my cheek and shoulder) and trying to focus the camera to take that pic. (I took like 3 of them in a row). Looking back, it seems crazier now than it did then. Not something I would likely repeat.
