I saw a similar picture someone had taken on another forum and decided I should do the same. I just took it tonight, in the dark and the rain, so it didn't really turn out that great...but you can actually read most of the numbers in this particular photo.

    I think the glowing turn signal light is trying to tell you something...

    Oil pressure looks kinda low to me?

    I saw my car go to 100,000 - digitally though. My mom's car had about 240,000 when we sold it.

    Actually I had the 4-way flashers on because I pulled off the highway onto the shoulder to snap this pic before the moment was gone.

    Low oil pressure? When I showed this pic to Dad, I didn't tell him it was my car, and he said it wasn't running. I said, yes it is. He said, hu-uh, it doesn't have any oil pressure. I said, yes it is...I just took it on the way home! I was idling when I took it, and I usually don't see but about 30 or so when I'm warmed up and going down the highway.


    And just in case anybody is missing the point of this, it isn't because of the size of the numbers; 130,000 isn't that many. It's because I'm at 133,333.3 AND my tripmeter says 333.3. I was really worried I wasn't going to be able to stop and take a pic when I hit the mark, but it JUST BARELY worked out.

    It's a Jeep Cherokee, somewhere between 88 and 98 vintage probably - the old 'Classic' style. The oil pressure in the 4 liter straight 6 sits about there at idle. Step on the gas, it goes up to about 45-50 on the meter.

    You need to put a Flowmaster 50 series on that thing, and dump it behind the rear bumper - GREAT tone on the motor, and you'll benefit at the pump too. I've had three of them, I know. The last one I sold to friend at 212,**** miles. My record is a 77 Toyota Corolla. Sold it at 276,**** miles.

    Cheers,

    220 Km/h = 138mph :rolleyes: On a Germany Highway. Come on I did 155+ mph on an American Highway put the car in "Neutral" coasted 3 miles and still passed someone during 55mph at 85mph in NEUTRAL Baby.


    Actual speed is a bit unknown the white painted lines to mark lanes looked SOLID and I still pushed the car it still wanted to go, I backed off and never went that fast ever again. That Car won. I chicken out. I asked my uncle who is a pilot just how fast that was and he stated 155 plus mph. The speedometer was buried past 120 mph way before I step off the gas.

    Looks like, from the angle, that it was taken from the passenger seat... I was thinking the same thing though...

    That's sweet but I keep thinking a 1001hp engine with a V-16, 4 turbo's, 10 radiator's she burns some FUEL and the tank can't be large enough. So at the end where he states the tires would last 20 Min's at top speed the Fuel would be out in 12 Min's. Now that's would I call "Tire Safety" :cool:


    BTW I like the German's lane markers better not so close as it is here in the states. So he's top speed of 250 mph looks like 145 mph here, but that's a little hard to say as that was a special test track.

    Nope. Same computer, same browser. I use mozilla firefox, and I can't view that pic on any of the three forums I uploaded it to. I opened those pages up in IE and can view it just fine at all three forums.
