Funny sight

i was driving down the highway earlier and some little white mail truck comes flying down the road, i was doin 65 so he must of been doin 70 or 75, its just a scary and hilarious sight seeing the white mail truck passing you, i didnt even know those things could go that fast :eek7:

LOL!

I think the USPS should do a custom one of those; white pearl paint with USPS graphics, a nice set of wheels, plenty of chrome, more HP and a custom interior. Just for grins.

It sounds like an incident I had when an 18 wheeler wooshed past our Maxima, which was doing 80 kmph on 70k road (the truck must ve been going at 100 atleast). My brother tried to speed past it and it overtook us again and again. Man, that guy probably has a Ferrari and doesn't know the difference on which is which...

100 in an 18 wheeler? i dont know if they could get that fast with a loaded trailier on a straight load, maybe on a slope yeah, but shit goin 70 in a big ass rig like that is haulin ass, so i'd hate to be doin 100 in one

they can go that fast even with a loaded trailer just takes some time getting up to speed. I work for a rental company and our truck drivers haul ass in there trucks with heavy loads.

i'd hate to be goin that fast in that big of a truck, imagine if you had a blow out in a 18 wheeler?

100 km/h.

62 MPH.

62? no? 18 wheelers can go faster than 62, i know that

Eagle: 62 Mph = 100 kph.
The person who wrote that story about the 18 wheeler was speaking in terms of kph.

you think thats funny look at the metro pic in my sig its often seen passing people (by the way its a 3cyl w/5 speed)

HAHA :lol:. That is a funny pic.

passing people that does not even want to race?
Or just passing "people"?

just passing people that drive slower than me (remember i lost my licence for a year due to too many speeding tickets)

That means those people don't have a mind to race at all...right? :uhoh:

thing looks photoshopped to me

it wasnt an 18 wheeler but a concrete mixer that had a blow-out on the road at the bottom of my garden, sounded incerdibly loud like a gunshot, i first heard the bang then the flapping noise of the loose tyre. there's a motorway near me in london, an no jokes, we (as in me an my mum) have been over take many times by a hearse (one of those car that carries coffins/caskets) next time it happens i'll get you guys a video.
