Driver who was doing 187 mph charged with drug smuggling

The Quattroporte GTS does 193 mph.

My Maserati does 193.
I lost control and wrapped
it around a tree.

Doesn’t quite have the same flow.

Only if you want to keep it. If you steal it for the sole reason of driving fast, then you’ll drive fast, right? I mean, it’s not like joyriders conduct a rigorous cost-benefit analysis. They’re idiots who want to drive fast.

This might be news on I-95 in Raleigh-Durham, but it sounds like an ordinary day on I-95 here in Miami.

Pet peeve: People who post local news links and don’t tell us where the event occurred. Had to go check out the website, bypass their adblock-whiner, then hunt for some hint of where “WRAL”'s catchment area is.

A guy in the UK had a $200K Ferrari done in by a pothole.

Audi claims a top speed of 190, but it obviously only does 187. Maybe he can get his money back. :laughing:

Still got all mine.

I do not think it is impossible to elude the cops in a high-speed chase, but, realistically, how many random drug dealers have heavily modified (but not obviously drawing attention) cars that can do it and the urban racing skills to match? I always figured the trick was to avoid attention, and, if you got busted, to go along quietly and leave it up to the syndicate/cartel/gang to put in the fix.

The fine for doing 187 in a work zone is going to be huge.

I know there are plenty of drug smugglers in Florida but I don’t think them doing 187 is a regular thing.
