I'm a little curious....

Why would have been so bad and douchebag-ish if he was going 185MPH? Thats the kind of **** corvettes were built for I thought.

Yeah, I think it's because the engine is spinning so fast at 180. Not bad for a car with the check engine light on too. I would be most worried about the ABS failure at that speed though. At least he has a full tank of gas.

You could also fake a picture by running with the rear tires off the ground. Would probably be hard on the axels though with the suspension down. But you could park in a place that would make it look like you are about to crash and die.
