    Sounds like a good thing that he got caught. Assuming the state troopers got him at 142mph. "Impreza and 16 yr. old kid" in the same sentence is a bad thing, but you add 142mph and this is the most deadly of drivers and also part of the reason for our "higher" insurance rates. Thank god noboby died. Plus this type of thing also marks our cars for trouble w/the law,they already pull me out of the crowd when 15 of us"rush hour commuters" are speeding down 94 at 72 mph in a 60. Our cars really stand out to officers.:mad:

    142 in a wrx? :eek2: I don't want to assume anything, like where, what circumstances, etc....but I think they should take his car, sell it, and then take the money and put up a highway improvement sign that thanks him for the funding....:laugh:

    this is over on rs25.com i will put a link in here.

    it just says impreza so it could have been a STi. what i dont get is if he was clocked going 142, why didnt he get away. not that he should have cause it bad to run formt eh popo. but it would be kinda hard for them to catch him, unless they had helocopters and a bunch of cops w/ radios.

    it aint hard to catch a young kid speeding.. wait till the next 3 corners.. he is bound to be right there next to the pole... or actually about 50 feet away in 30 pieces...

    Is that a corvette? That's not a bad knockoff of the Batmobile from the first Batman movie.

    It's just a Gallardo, but the front end looks distorted...I wonder if a fish eye lense was used....

    C'mon Mike, didn't you recognize the roller coaster in the background??? That's an OFFICIAL Warner Bros. Batmobile at Great America. Every kid gets their picture taken with it....

    This is more up your alley, though:

    Wide-angle lens FTL. Eh, not a fan of Lambo's new styling anyway. And, according to my ECU, the WRX should hit 149 before the top-speed limiter kicks in.

    Bam aside, I think this picture gives an interesting perspective on what it would be like to drive a new lambo. Looks like you could hit warp speed in it.

    oops my bad...different lambo model...

    I topped out my Z on 494 at about 3 in the morning and I hit 163 on my digital MPH guage. Kinda scary but I had to do it. 4 lanes wide and no cars. How come you guys don't like the lambo's? I think they are amazing!!!! Morries Maseratti had a Gallardo late summer last year and that was one mean looking car!
