Triple digits? rarely, I don't know of any place I could do that around where I live. Traffic, CHP, local Cops, SCPD, Capitola PD, Watsonville PD, SUV's, blue hairs, school buses, Peterbilts, all tend to get in the way.
I seldom do triple digits, but I get up to 80 in a real hurry quite a bit :steering:

Too often I have my girlfriend with me...its not worth risking her for triple digit thrills...
But if i'm by myself, and I see a good spot...it never hurts... :cheers:

It depends on where I'm at and who I'm with. My wife is begining to like a bit of ACCELLERATION when we go out for a ride in the Vette. Maybe once a week. :jester

Redwing,
You must live in the Santa Cruz area. There are many areas North County, Hwy 17 near Scott's Valley, Anywhere Hwy 1. Just need a radar detector and the fun begins.

Mostly I have to say 3-10 times per week...depending on how deep I go in eliminations (bracket racing).
Well, there's also the occasional $1+ on the interstate. :yesnod:

I have never hit triple digits. I would like to experience that some day. I think it would be thrilling to put it mildly! The fastest I have ever went was 92, and at the time, I had no idea I was even driving that fast . . . amazing what a balance job and new tires will do! Smooooooooooooooth!
