He also races his car and hits speeds in excess of 120 mph, it is a miata so those are some pretty high speeds for that car.
You ask me, your friend is taking a big risk driving that fast on plugged tires, but it's his life to risk. Plus, he drives a Miata, something wrong with that all on its own.

Oh I rag on him all the time, but its a lot better than the teg he had. He should have just stuck with his 300zx turbo...

Tell him he should have gotten the real thing (a Vette) instead of that miniature lame excuse for a sports car.

Im pretty sure he would get into a lot of trouble, he went on probation with his old bmw and then got a gti and the first night he got off probation he took that thing down to the beach and hit 130 or so, he left at 12 and made it back in time for school at 7. Its usually about a 3 hour drive or so.
