miles an hour. Okay, no, okay, Dan, does that seem
like you need a car that does.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Two hundred and thirty three miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
A passenger car?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
No, yeah, no, no, it's not like it wasn't built.
It's not like, hey, let's build Tommy Milner a corvette.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I get my shirts on Monday. The uh you don't. Now,
I get one of them. You get the sweatshirt.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, for my birthday, which is on Monday.
That is right around the corner. Bro really is anyway,
But they did not go in and build a car
for for Milner, like this is a This is a
regular car.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Is it expensive? Of course it is. But it'll top
out at two thirty three? Right, what is your car
top out at?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I don't know. It's an average car, aren't they. Isn't
it standard?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
The no? No, no, no, well standard this those two thirty three.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
No, well this is not a standard car.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
But yeah, but what I'm saying, there's nothing spent.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I mean, yes, there's something special about this car, but
it is this is how it came out. Okay, So
it's not like they went in and did a bunch
of aftermarkets.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Over one hundred yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, of course, right, yeah, And I'm guessing you've never
pushed it to over one hundred now, but the car
does over one hundred?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Right? What is? What is? What is? What does your
car do?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
If you looked at the spredometer, what will it tell you?
The car does probably goes to one twenty.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, like, I'm sure it's probably one twenty one forty
somewhere around there.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I don't think it does one forty. Have you used
it at that speed? No? I've never cracked triple digits
the okay, I bet Kristen has. Have you cracked one
hundred in a car? Yeah? No, I have two? That's okay,
that's all right. The face she gave you was like
has in everybody except for these two dweeps? I know
(01:59):
your husband has. Yeah, with us in the car.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
You've driven over one hundred with me in the car too.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Love that. What was the weather in clement? I know
I was probably out running inclement weather. You guys are
storm chasing.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Let me ask you this, Yeah, if I were to
come to you and go, I'm gonna put you on
a board and it's going to be up to you
to determine, like how fast is too fast? What should
a car be able to do? Speed wise? You're now
in charge of saying I am going to be in
(02:38):
charge of regulating, like, do we need cars that do
two hundred miles an hour?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
On, I mean, all you're doing is driving it on streets.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You can tell me that you have it and you
take it to racetracks, that's fine. I'm just talking about
regular everyday cars that you drive on the street.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Now, do we need one that does two hundred miles
an hour?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Now? Do we need one that does one? No?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So what are you going to tell me? You're in charge,
you're the head of NITSA mm hmm. What are you
going to max cars out at?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Where you would be like and listen, there'd be some
people that'd be like.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Hell no, but they've also probably never capped their car
out at a buck fifty. Here's where I don't need
Everybody's like, man, I'll tell you what I've done. Four times,
I did one hundred and sixty miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I hosted almost have shot.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
What is that? What is that speed?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Eighty five? Eighty five? Yeah, no way you're gonna make it.
Oh well I was gonna say eighty, but I gave
you the extra.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Say ninety eighty eighty.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Why do you need to go over eighty five miles
per hour?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
So?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Where where is what it?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Like?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
There are stretches of road between like.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, we're the speed limit seventy Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
You definitely need more than eighty. What if you have
to pass?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I gave you eighty five. I gave you five more
than I wanted to. Well, okay, so what if you
have to pass? Sometimes you do have to speed up
to go around if someone else is going or or
you can pass at eighty five.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
No. No, If I'm doing if somebody's doing seventy five
and I need to pass them, I'm going to have
to increase my speed to get beyond them.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yes, and you have ten to play with their perfect beautiful?
Is that enough? Yes, there's no need to drive ninety
miles proud? What about it? What if there's an emergency?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, you know what, No, No, like I'm trying to
get away, Like in my rear view mirror, I can
see an accident has happened, and I need to like
move myself further up the road.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Maybe when it comes to first responding vehicles.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Okay, I'm talking regular Oh then regular cars, regular car
eighty five.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yes, I ain't give you an I'm actually shocked you've
never driven ninety. Probably not, but I like that you're
telling people. I want why not?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
No, no, But I'm surprised that you're that you're saying
that you would allow other people to drive to ninety.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
So this was all done as a survey, and I
know what.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I know what the kind of I don't want to
say the consensus answer is, but I know where it
ended up where they said, Like, listen, if if you
came in and said I'm going to cap your car out,
I would be pissed.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Many people would.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
But again, but at the same time, I don't I
don't know what my car goes up to. I know
it does over one hundred, I know it does. I
want to say on the speedometer it probably is one forty.
But I'm not driving the car one hundred and forty
miles an hour. I don't need to drive the car
(05:55):
one hundred and forty miles an hour. Is the so
I would be I would be pissed, but I can
stand if they said, no, we are going to institute
a law.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Let's figure it out. But going back to your speedometer, yes,
is that a good indicator of how fast the car
can go? Or are we usually the radar gun is
a better indicator. No, But are we being too reliant
on those numbers to think the car can go that fast?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Some of them, some of them can't. Some of them
can't get up to what the speedometer says. But they
are sold with the speedometer that goes up that high
to give you the impression that it's got more performance
than it does.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So it is a marketing in some cases.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And in some cases the car will actually go faster,
but they don't want you to exceed the spedometer.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Oh wow, so that it'll cap you.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Not that it'll cap you out there, but mentally it
caps you out there.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But in some cases, yes, it is a marketing device,
and go like, goddamn, man, I can get this thing.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
This car does a buck forty and you don't drive
it and listen, I know that, I know that, I
know that my car will do over one hundred miles
an hour.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I don't regularly drive over one hundred miles an hour?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Have you gone? I know at least one hundred with Diane?
Are we talking? Was it one oh five? Was it one? Why?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Why do I think it was like one hundred and ten?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh my god, I know exactly what you're talking about,
and I know what it was.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It was one hundred and ten.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
No, it was less. No, Oh god.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Were you guys just have blocked out that terror in
my mind?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Were you guys at the race wreck?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
No, we were on a we were on a two
lane road.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The not it was two lanes in the same direction.
It wasn't one coming at me, was it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
We were coming back from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, right, and I
wanted to get back.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yes, it was very important.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
We were coming back from training camp.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, we needed to get back fast, and.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
We did at about one hundred and eighteen miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I was crying.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So Elliott's in patience was the only reason you were
driving that fast, well and open road. So Elliott's desire
to get back sooner than later.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
And muttered something like, let's see what this baby can do.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That is not true.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
No, But Diane was like, go faster, No faster, Come on,
I'm sure I was pleading with you to slow down.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Let's go giddy up, Kristen. Have you even hit one eighteen?
What Mike has with me in the car? What waite?
I believe that? Where were you? I don't know. It's
the airport on twenty five, so like one twenty five
(08:37):
belt way belt Wait? Yeah, one twenty five, right between
one twenty and twenty five.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Were you terrified? She said, yes.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I remember being on the beltway coming home from I
can't remember where it was, but it was probably two
thirty three o'clock in the morning, and I had to
piss like a horse, and I remember hitting probably ten
just to like get home faster to pee.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
But anyway, that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's neither here nor there. I don't know it is.
Next time Mike offers to take us somewhere, I have
to thank him for driving so slow the one time
he did take us somewhere. What are you capping? So
are you still cappin at ninety?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And again I would I would be the first one
to say I don't want to cap it, but I
have to.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Right, we have to make we have to make a law.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, I think ninety is being generous.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Do we need car if the speed limit the see
because you think around here the speed limits fifty five
sixty Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
You see how people drive on the Beltway, especially in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Okay, but then I would I would argue with you
that if you think that they're driving like that in
the middle of the night and they're out of control,
why give them ninety. I mean, listen, if the speed
limits fifty five, you can't make it sixty. Like we
all agree that would be stupid. And yes, there are
places where the speed limit is sixty five. There's place
(10:06):
where it's seventy. But by and large, let's just say
around here speed limits fifty five sixty five. I think
north of like once you get north of Baltimore, heading
towards Delaware. But you're gonna you're gonna give me double
almost double the speed.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Now I'm questioning my choice, right, No.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I'm asking I'm asking where am I going?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Kristen Mine seven and you're still at eighty five? Correct? Hi? Elliott,
the morning?
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Good morning?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Is this me?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Where are you call me from?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Sir?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
I'm calling you from Richmond.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
How are you guys? Good?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
What are we capping at? So?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I just told Kristin h South Florida from Naples to
Fort Lauderdale is one hundred and one miles of street
and flat through the Everglades swamp. And I did it
on a motorcycle with a top speed at one hundred
and sixty seven miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah. I won't do a motorcycle that fast. That I can't.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But now that's great. So you had one experience on
a motorcycle. That's awesome. Good for you, Like it's great.
And I'm not saying that condescend. I'm just saying in general,
you have to you have to be part of where
we're creating a law. How fast is enough?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I think I broke up? Can you can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I got you? Now?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
How fast is enough?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
How fast is enough? I mean I I've had a
lead foot in my entire life. So I'm I'm hating
the idea of capping any kind of vehicle on the street.
I understand safety, but I like to go fast, and
so I would go against any kind of capping anything.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
All right, Well, the good news is because you're against
the capping, that's fine. And I understand that that you
have a lead foot, But now then everybody just gets
to do one hundred and ten.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I like his disclaimer, though while I understand safety, I
am against this idea.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
But this whole Corvette thing did bring out the thing.
We don't need cars that can do that speed. No, no, no,
no no, But that's ridiculous. But if something has to
cause that to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Some people are saying that they've done one fifty one
sixty in their cars. I believe it. The Corvette's two thirty, right,
I believe.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That, But I could also I could also understand the
argument of somebody saying, you don't need a car that
does one hundred and sixty miles an hour. No, you
don't need that. Now, No, I was half that, a
little more, half lit more and half. So yeah, I
can understand the argument. Again, I'm not I'm not holding
up a flag saying let's cap speed. I'm just saying
(12:33):
I can understand the argument of you don't need that.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I can tell you, even though we've asked how fast before,
it's too fast. Many people agree that there shouldn't be
any sort.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Of absolutely and I'm right there with Regulator I am
right there with you. Okay, But if you had to,
if you had to cap a speed, what would you say.
I'm I'm biased because I know what the consensus was.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
But before reading this, you've had thoughts on speed before.
Clearly you felt like you had to get home quickly
from Carlisle. You know what.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
My initial thought was one hundred. But in my head,
I was like, I don't know. I don't know that
it needs to be one hundred. Like, I don't know
that we need to go one hundred miles.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
An hour, not to South America. Wait, so are you
down with me? No? No, that's too slow.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
That's ninety's too slow.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
To I could settle in at ninety.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I could settle in at ninety, like I need my
car to be able to do ninety miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Doesn't that sound silly? Just it does? It does?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Of course, of course that's why I was shocked.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Diane said it. Listen, there are some people.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
There are some people that'll go if the speed limit
is seventy at the fastest place in the US.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
If the speed limit is seventy, you don't need more.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Than seventy five, And that's not seven five because Hey,
you know sometimes the fuzz is cool with a grace period.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
No, it's just if if they did have to pass
somebody who was slow at sixty nine and you had
to get around them, you would need to accelerate to
get around them.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Aren't the fastest sp limits in the US, like eighty
eighty five? Like I'm sure somewhere I think.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
In Montana, Oh my god, and then you're gonna get
Hey man, there's one place in Montana ain't got.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
No post of speed at all.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Did what you wish, but that's not the case around here.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
No, but I still gave you eighty five. You can
still be at that limit. Yeah, No, get it's shot Diane.
You and Diane breaking the law. Hi Ellie in the morning. Hi, Hi,
who's this?
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yes, this is Stacey from Chester.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Well, I was calling in because I heard you guys
talking about, you know, capping the speed. I was in
a serious car accident in October, and I had internal
bleeding in all of that, and I just wanted to say,
it doesn't matter if you capped this feed or not,
because the person that hit me not only did they
hit me once, they hit me twice and then they
ended up dying and they were going about thirty five
miles an hour. So it doesn't matter if you capped
(15:15):
this feed or not, because crazy things can happen.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Oh yeah, no, no, no, listen, I understand that. But
I mean listen. If that's the case, you could be
backing your car up at three miles an hour and
knock me over and run me over and I'm dead.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
So but that was just crazy. That but that wouldn't
be the reason that you would go.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Well, then all cars should be able to do two
hundred and thirty three miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
True.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
I guess it just depends on the person and how
good they are at driving?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Hood how good?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
How good are you at driving? Doesn't sound very you
had all them internal bleedings.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Well, well, if the airbag and the seatbelt saved me.
If I hadn't been wearing an airbag and a seatbelt,
I either would be severely injured or stead All right, so.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I'm capping you at fifty five, man, fifty five is
your speed.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Hey, I've gone but you know, okay, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I appreciate it. Thank you. So she's a ninetier This
is from Patrick. My tahoe shows one forty on this pedometer,
but don't think it ever needs to go over eighty
five to be honest.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Okay, that's honesty, that's honesty.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But I also got a text message from my former
family doctor. Oh can I guess? Wait?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Is he telling you how fast he's gone now?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
But he's commenting on it?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Oh yeah, no, No, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It wasn't he like, hey, how's the family? No?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
No, no, Because if I had to guess, I would guess.
I would guess he has driven very fast before.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Well, he writes, how fast should a doctor drive to
a hospital when his patient is delivering a baby? Some
of us may may have to hit triple ditchits.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Is that because there was nobody else at the hospital
that day? Or me? The good news is if he
hit to me, he'll be able to treat me on
the side. Well, if my injury is to my couter.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Oh no, head injury, Oh well.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Oh hatchet rude. But to him, I'll say, I don't know.
Let me ask someone who's currently practicing.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Let me go to line Hi Elliott in the morning,
hurt me?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Hello? Hello, Yeah, Hi, who's this.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Scott.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, real quick, Scott, your phone's kind of breaking up
on me. But what can I What can I do?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
I have a Corvette Lucky, I have one of the
new ones, and I have been one sixty one on
a highway. But let me preface this. Let me let
me say first it belongs on the racetrack first and foremost, right,
But when I did it, there was nobody in sight.
I was by myself and if I was going to wreck,
(17:54):
I was the only one that.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Was going to be affected.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Right, But you understand that sometimes sometime times laws or
things are put in place to protect you from yourself. Yes, yeah,
I mean just because just because there was no one around, Like,
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
See you wreck the car and and die in the
car accident.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
And listen, absolutely, I think that's awesome that you can
do a buck sixty one in that thing. I bet
the car is beautiful. Oh my god, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
But you're not going to drive a buck sixty one
every day.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
I'm not going to do it in traffic, you know,
on the I'd prefer to doing a racetrack.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
So what are you going to cap our speed at?
In the cars.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
I'm not going to cap it at anything.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
All right, dude, I appreciate it. Thank you, my friend,
thank you. Yes time from Tim Blank. I had a
two thousand and three Mustang Cobra that hit one seventy
and fifth year before going into six. Oh my god,
it was an awesome car.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Wow. Wow, could you imagine that? No? I cannot.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
That's twice what you were willing to allow people.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You're right, yeah, exactly what. I can't even in terms
of the sensation, not just the idea of someone going
that fast, which is hard to imagine. I'm trying to
put myself in that car and I can't.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Wait driving it or being a passenger. It's completely different. No, no, no, no, no,
I'm being serious either, though.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I'm not saying because they're the same. I can't imagine
being a passenger, and I can't imagine being behind the wheel.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
You notice what once you like when you get up
to speeds like that, you notice the difference if you're
between doing it as a driver and doing it as
a passenger. As a passenger, it seems like you are
driving like a bad oud of hell, yes, you were
as a driver.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
You're like, oh, doesn't even feel that fast.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Did you in all honesty, did you even notice you
were driving that fast with Diane in your car? Yeah?
Just argued against that. No, no, no, Like I knew.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That I was going fat, I wouldn't have been able
to tell you, like, oh, I know I'm over one fifteen.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Were you torturing Diane? No, not just with the speed,
but was he making comments? Yes, not until you started
in on me.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Oh I forced you to be snarky. The no no,
it's fine, it's fine, I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
The no no no.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
But that's when that's when it started getting bad.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Is Sherry's going to come into the back seat?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Is when you were riding my ass?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's when that's when that's when game respects game.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
It's my fault. I wasn't respecting there.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
No, No.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Diane bullied and I bullied back. Sometimes you gotta stand
up for yourself. Okay, I do remember like holding a
cigarette off the side, careful, you'll burn.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So what was the consensus on what? Oh ninety?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Oh yeah, ninety is the consensus that if we were
going to cap vehicles, like how fast is too fast?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You don't really need your car to be able to
do more than ninety miles an hour. But Kristen just
slipped you on.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Why did she tell you motion for Yah, which I
would have I would have thought it was going to
be lower.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
I was shocked that people settled in at ninety
I'm sure everybody is aware that the that GM just
had that corvette that did two hundred and thirty three
miles an hour. Okay, no, okay, Dan, does that seem
like you need a car that does.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Two hundred and thirty three miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
A passenger car?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
No, yeah, no, no, it's not like it wasn't built.
It's not like, hey, let's build Tommy Milner a corvette.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I get my shirts on Monday. The uh you don't. Now,
I get one of them. You get the sweatshirt.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, for my birthday, which is on Monday.
That is right around the corner. Bro really is anyway,
But they did not go in and build a car
for for Milner, like this is a This is a
regular car.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Is it expensive? Of course it is. But it'll top
out at two thirty three? Right, what is your car
top out at?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I don't know. It's an average car, aren't they. Isn't
it standard?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
The no? No, no, no, well standard this those two thirty three.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
No, well this is not a standard car.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
But yeah, but what I'm saying, there's nothing spent.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I mean, yes, there's something special about this car, but
it is this is how it came out. Okay, So
it's not like they went in and did a bunch
of aftermarkets.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Over one hundred yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, of course, right, yeah, And I'm guessing you've never
pushed it to over one hundred now, but the car
does over one hundred?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Right? What is? What is? What is? What does your
car do?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
If you looked at the spredometer, what will it tell you?
The car does probably goes to one twenty.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, like, I'm sure it's probably one twenty one forty
somewhere around there.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I don't think it does one forty. Have you used
it at that speed? No? I've never cracked triple digits
the okay, I bet Kristen has. Have you cracked one
hundred in a car? Yeah? No, I have two? That's okay,
that's all right. The face she gave you was like
has in everybody except for these two dweeps? I know
(01:59):
your husband has. Yeah, with us in the car.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
You've driven over one hundred with me in the car too.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Love that. What was the weather in clement? I know
I was probably out running inclement weather. You guys are
storm chasing.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Let me ask you this, Yeah, if I were to
come to you and go, I'm gonna put you on
a board and it's going to be up to you
to determine, like how fast is too fast? What should
a car be able to do? Speed wise? You're now
in charge of saying I am going to be in
(02:38):
charge of regulating, like, do we need cars that do
two hundred miles an hour?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
On, I mean, all you're doing is driving it on streets.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You can tell me that you have it and you
take it to racetracks, that's fine. I'm just talking about
regular everyday cars that you drive on the street.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Now, do we need one that does two hundred miles
an hour?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Now? Do we need one that does one? No?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So what are you going to tell me? You're in charge,
you're the head of NITSA mm hmm. What are you
going to max cars out at?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Where you would be like and listen, there'd be some
people that'd be like.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Hell no, but they've also probably never capped their car
out at a buck fifty. Here's where I don't need
Everybody's like, man, I'll tell you what I've done. Four times,
I did one hundred and sixty miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I hosted almost have shot.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
What is that? What is that speed?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Eighty five? Eighty five? Yeah, no way you're gonna make it.
Oh well I was gonna say eighty, but I gave
you the extra.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Say ninety eighty eighty.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Why do you need to go over eighty five miles
per hour?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
So?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Where where is what it?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Like?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
There are stretches of road between like.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, we're the speed limit seventy Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
You definitely need more than eighty. What if you have
to pass?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I gave you eighty five. I gave you five more
than I wanted to. Well, okay, so what if you
have to pass? Sometimes you do have to speed up
to go around if someone else is going or or
you can pass at eighty five.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
No. No, If I'm doing if somebody's doing seventy five
and I need to pass them, I'm going to have
to increase my speed to get beyond them.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yes, and you have ten to play with their perfect beautiful?
Is that enough? Yes, there's no need to drive ninety
miles proud? What about it? What if there's an emergency?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, you know what, No, No, like I'm trying to
get away, Like in my rear view mirror, I can
see an accident has happened, and I need to like
move myself further up the road.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Maybe when it comes to first responding vehicles.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Okay, I'm talking regular Oh then regular cars, regular car
eighty five.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yes, I ain't give you an I'm actually shocked you've
never driven ninety. Probably not, but I like that you're
telling people. I want why not?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
No, no, But I'm surprised that you're that you're saying
that you would allow other people to drive to ninety.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
So this was all done as a survey, and I
know what.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I know what the kind of I don't want to
say the consensus answer is, but I know where it
ended up where they said, Like, listen, if if you
came in and said I'm going to cap your car out,
I would be pissed.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Many people would.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
But again, but at the same time, I don't I
don't know what my car goes up to. I know
it does over one hundred, I know it does. I
want to say on the speedometer it probably is one forty.
But I'm not driving the car one hundred and forty
miles an hour. I don't need to drive the car
(05:55):
one hundred and forty miles an hour. Is the so
I would be I would be pissed, but I can
stand if they said, no, we are going to institute
a law.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Let's figure it out. But going back to your speedometer, yes,
is that a good indicator of how fast the car
can go? Or are we usually the radar gun is
a better indicator. No, But are we being too reliant
on those numbers to think the car can go that fast?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Some of them, some of them can't. Some of them
can't get up to what the speedometer says. But they
are sold with the speedometer that goes up that high
to give you the impression that it's got more performance
than it does.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So it is a marketing in some cases.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And in some cases the car will actually go faster,
but they don't want you to exceed the spedometer.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Oh wow, so that it'll cap you.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Not that it'll cap you out there, but mentally it
caps you out there.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But in some cases, yes, it is a marketing device,
and go like, goddamn, man, I can get this thing.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
This car does a buck forty and you don't drive
it and listen, I know that, I know that, I
know that my car will do over one hundred miles
an hour.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I don't regularly drive over one hundred miles an hour?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Have you gone? I know at least one hundred with Diane?
Are we talking? Was it one oh five? Was it one? Why?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Why do I think it was like one hundred and ten?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh my god, I know exactly what you're talking about,
and I know what it was.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It was one hundred and ten.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
No, it was less. No, Oh god.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Were you guys just have blocked out that terror in
my mind?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Were you guys at the race wreck?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
No, we were on a we were on a two
lane road.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The not it was two lanes in the same direction.
It wasn't one coming at me, was it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
We were coming back from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, right, and I
wanted to get back.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yes, it was very important.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
We were coming back from training camp.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, we needed to get back fast, and.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
We did at about one hundred and eighteen miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I was crying.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So Elliott's in patience was the only reason you were
driving that fast, well and open road. So Elliott's desire
to get back sooner than later.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
And muttered something like, let's see what this baby can do.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That is not true.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
No, But Diane was like, go faster, No faster, Come on,
I'm sure I was pleading with you to slow down.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Let's go giddy up, Kristen. Have you even hit one eighteen?
What Mike has with me in the car? What waite?
I believe that? Where were you? I don't know. It's
the airport on twenty five, so like one twenty five
(08:37):
belt way belt Wait? Yeah, one twenty five, right between
one twenty and twenty five.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Were you terrified? She said, yes.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I remember being on the beltway coming home from I
can't remember where it was, but it was probably two
thirty three o'clock in the morning, and I had to
piss like a horse, and I remember hitting probably ten
just to like get home faster to pee.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
But anyway, that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's neither here nor there. I don't know it is.
Next time Mike offers to take us somewhere, I have
to thank him for driving so slow the one time
he did take us somewhere. What are you capping? So
are you still cappin at ninety?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And again I would I would be the first one
to say I don't want to cap it, but I
have to.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Right, we have to make we have to make a law.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, I think ninety is being generous.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Do we need car if the speed limit the see
because you think around here the speed limits fifty five
sixty Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
You see how people drive on the Beltway, especially in
the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Okay, but then I would I would argue with you
that if you think that they're driving like that in
the middle of the night and they're out of control,
why give them ninety. I mean, listen, if the speed
limits fifty five, you can't make it sixty. Like we
all agree that would be stupid. And yes, there are
places where the speed limit is sixty five. There's place
(10:06):
where it's seventy. But by and large, let's just say
around here speed limits fifty five sixty five. I think
north of like once you get north of Baltimore, heading
towards Delaware. But you're gonna you're gonna give me double
almost double the speed.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Now I'm questioning my choice, right, No.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I'm asking I'm asking where am I going?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Kristen Mine seven and you're still at eighty five? Correct? Hi? Elliott,
the morning?
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Good morning?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Is this me?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Where are you call me from?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Sir?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
I'm calling you from Richmond.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
How are you guys? Good?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
What are we capping at? So?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I just told Kristin h South Florida from Naples to
Fort Lauderdale is one hundred and one miles of street
and flat through the Everglades swamp. And I did it
on a motorcycle with a top speed at one hundred
and sixty seven miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah. I won't do a motorcycle that fast. That I can't.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But now that's great. So you had one experience on
a motorcycle. That's awesome. Good for you, Like it's great.
And I'm not saying that condescend. I'm just saying in general,
you have to you have to be part of where
we're creating a law. How fast is enough?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I think I broke up? Can you can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I got you? Now?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
How fast is enough?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
How fast is enough? I mean I I've had a
lead foot in my entire life. So I'm I'm hating
the idea of capping any kind of vehicle on the street.
I understand safety, but I like to go fast, and
so I would go against any kind of capping anything.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
All right, Well, the good news is because you're against
the capping, that's fine. And I understand that that you
have a lead foot, But now then everybody just gets
to do one hundred and ten.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I like his disclaimer, though while I understand safety, I
am against this idea.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
But this whole Corvette thing did bring out the thing.
We don't need cars that can do that speed. No, no, no,
no no, But that's ridiculous. But if something has to
cause that to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Some people are saying that they've done one fifty one
sixty in their cars. I believe it. The Corvette's two thirty, right,
I believe.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That, But I could also I could also understand the
argument of somebody saying, you don't need a car that
does one hundred and sixty miles an hour. No, you
don't need that. Now, No, I was half that, a
little more, half lit more and half. So yeah, I
can understand the argument. Again, I'm not I'm not holding
up a flag saying let's cap speed. I'm just saying
(12:33):
I can understand the argument of you don't need that.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I can tell you, even though we've asked how fast before,
it's too fast. Many people agree that there shouldn't be
any sort.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Of absolutely and I'm right there with Regulator I am
right there with you. Okay, But if you had to,
if you had to cap a speed, what would you say.
I'm I'm biased because I know what the consensus was.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
But before reading this, you've had thoughts on speed before.
Clearly you felt like you had to get home quickly
from Carlisle. You know what.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
My initial thought was one hundred. But in my head,
I was like, I don't know. I don't know that
it needs to be one hundred. Like, I don't know
that we need to go one hundred miles.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
An hour, not to South America. Wait, so are you
down with me? No? No, that's too slow.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
That's ninety's too slow.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
To I could settle in at ninety.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I could settle in at ninety, like I need my
car to be able to do ninety miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Doesn't that sound silly? Just it does? It does?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Of course, of course that's why I was shocked.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Diane said it. Listen, there are some people.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
There are some people that'll go if the speed limit
is seventy at the fastest place in the US.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
If the speed limit is seventy, you don't need more.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Than seventy five, And that's not seven five because Hey,
you know sometimes the fuzz is cool with a grace period.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
No, it's just if if they did have to pass
somebody who was slow at sixty nine and you had
to get around them, you would need to accelerate to
get around them.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Aren't the fastest sp limits in the US, like eighty
eighty five? Like I'm sure somewhere I think.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
In Montana, Oh my god, and then you're gonna get
Hey man, there's one place in Montana ain't got.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
No post of speed at all.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Did what you wish, but that's not the case around here.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
No, but I still gave you eighty five. You can
still be at that limit. Yeah, No, get it's shot Diane.
You and Diane breaking the law. Hi Ellie in the morning. Hi, Hi,
who's this?
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yes, this is Stacey from Chester.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Well, I was calling in because I heard you guys
talking about, you know, capping the speed. I was in
a serious car accident in October, and I had internal
bleeding in all of that, and I just wanted to say,
it doesn't matter if you capped this feed or not,
because the person that hit me not only did they
hit me once, they hit me twice and then they
ended up dying and they were going about thirty five
miles an hour. So it doesn't matter if you capped
(15:15):
this feed or not, because crazy things can happen.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Oh yeah, no, no, no, listen, I understand that. But
I mean listen. If that's the case, you could be
backing your car up at three miles an hour and
knock me over and run me over and I'm dead.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
So but that was just crazy. That but that wouldn't
be the reason that you would go.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Well, then all cars should be able to do two
hundred and thirty three miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
True.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
I guess it just depends on the person and how
good they are at driving?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Hood how good?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
How good are you at driving? Doesn't sound very you
had all them internal bleedings.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Well, well, if the airbag and the seatbelt saved me.
If I hadn't been wearing an airbag and a seatbelt,
I either would be severely injured or stead All right, so.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I'm capping you at fifty five, man, fifty five is
your speed.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Hey, I've gone but you know, okay, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I appreciate it. Thank you. So she's a ninetier This
is from Patrick. My tahoe shows one forty on this pedometer,
but don't think it ever needs to go over eighty
five to be honest.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Okay, that's honesty, that's honesty.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But I also got a text message from my former
family doctor. Oh can I guess? Wait?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Is he telling you how fast he's gone now?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
But he's commenting on it?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Oh yeah, no, No, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It wasn't he like, hey, how's the family? No?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
No, no, Because if I had to guess, I would guess.
I would guess he has driven very fast before.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Well, he writes, how fast should a doctor drive to
a hospital when his patient is delivering a baby? Some
of us may may have to hit triple ditchits.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Is that because there was nobody else at the hospital
that day? Or me? The good news is if he
hit to me, he'll be able to treat me on
the side. Well, if my injury is to my couter.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Oh no, head injury, Oh well.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Oh hatchet rude. But to him, I'll say, I don't know.
Let me ask someone who's currently practicing.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Let me go to line Hi Elliott in the morning,
hurt me?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Hello? Hello, Yeah, Hi, who's this.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Scott.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, real quick, Scott, your phone's kind of breaking up
on me. But what can I What can I do?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
I have a Corvette Lucky, I have one of the
new ones, and I have been one sixty one on
a highway. But let me preface this. Let me let
me say first it belongs on the racetrack first and foremost, right,
But when I did it, there was nobody in sight.
I was by myself and if I was going to wreck,
(17:54):
I was the only one that.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Was going to be affected.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Right, But you understand that sometimes sometime times laws or
things are put in place to protect you from yourself. Yes, yeah,
I mean just because just because there was no one around, Like,
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
See you wreck the car and and die in the
car accident.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
And listen, absolutely, I think that's awesome that you can
do a buck sixty one in that thing. I bet
the car is beautiful. Oh my god, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
But you're not going to drive a buck sixty one
every day.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
I'm not going to do it in traffic, you know,
on the I'd prefer to doing a racetrack.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
So what are you going to cap our speed at?
In the cars.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
I'm not going to cap it at anything.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
All right, dude, I appreciate it. Thank you, my friend,
thank you. Yes time from Tim Blank. I had a
two thousand and three Mustang Cobra that hit one seventy
and fifth year before going into six. Oh my god,
it was an awesome car.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Wow. Wow, could you imagine that? No? I cannot.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
That's twice what you were willing to allow people.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You're right, yeah, exactly what. I can't even in terms
of the sensation, not just the idea of someone going
that fast, which is hard to imagine. I'm trying to
put myself in that car and I can't.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Wait driving it or being a passenger. It's completely different. No, no, no, no, no,
I'm being serious either, though.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I'm not saying because they're the same. I can't imagine
being a passenger, and I can't imagine being behind the wheel.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
You notice what once you like when you get up
to speeds like that, you notice the difference if you're
between doing it as a driver and doing it as
a passenger. As a passenger, it seems like you are
driving like a bad oud of hell, yes, you were
as a driver.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
You're like, oh, doesn't even feel that fast.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Did you in all honesty, did you even notice you
were driving that fast with Diane in your car? Yeah?
Just argued against that. No, no, no, Like I knew.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That I was going fat, I wouldn't have been able
to tell you, like, oh, I know I'm over one fifteen.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Were you torturing Diane? No, not just with the speed,
but was he making comments? Yes, not until you started
in on me.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Oh I forced you to be snarky. The no no,
it's fine, it's fine, I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
The no no no.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
But that's when that's when it started getting bad.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Is Sherry's going to come into the back seat?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Is when you were riding my ass?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's when that's when that's when game respects game.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
It's my fault. I wasn't respecting there.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
No, No.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Diane bullied and I bullied back. Sometimes you gotta stand
up for yourself. Okay, I do remember like holding a
cigarette off the side, careful, you'll burn.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So what was the consensus on what? Oh ninety?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Oh yeah, ninety is the consensus that if we were
going to cap vehicles, like how fast is too fast?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You don't really need your car to be able to
do more than ninety miles an hour. But Kristen just
slipped you on.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Why did she tell you motion for Yah, which I

Speaker 4 (21:17):
I was shocked that people settled in at ninety
