Happy anniversary baby.

Wanted to do this for a long time and when it came down to it I wasnt ready. Looked down and realized I had 13 miles to rollover. Drove a bit and got the hang of holding the phone while driving. took to resting my thumb on the windshield wiper stalk. worked pretty well at 60 on the freeway. unfortunately it worked less well at 100 up hill around a corner on a less than smooth surface (read gravel road).

The above was performed by a professional driver on a closed course with a full rescue crew on standby, 6 guardian angles, and a fuzzy dinosaur named Bruce. Do not attempt this in your home.

Yeah not my best work ever. Hard to hold a camera steady with one hand while steering with the other and trying to watch the road, Speedometer, and camera screen at the same time while bouncing along at 100mph. Next time im gonna have a rig to hold the camera, witch was the orriginal plan actually.

I took a pretty good one on the way down to oregon with my speedo maxxed out at 90mph in the metro! Right afterwards I got passed by an STI while I was doing 90mph so they (car full of guys) must have been doing 110+.

think I did 115 once on a long desert straight out in the middle of no where. Never had the chance to take my car out on a track so dont open her up to often.
