SEPTEMBER 4--While we normally don't concern ourselves with speeding arrests, we're making an exception in the case of one Dr. William Faenza. The 35-year-old New York City man was arrested Sunday after Pennsylvania cops clocked his 1997 Lamborghini Diablo going a remarkable 182 mph on State Road 443 (a 55 mph zone).

Damn. That's crazy.

I got busted going 35 mph over the speed limit two weeks ago but the kind officer reduced it to just 9 mph. Gave me a hellova lecture though.

Stupid fuck! DWI @ 182mph....

What did you do....blow him Colin??? :yowsa:

Whew - checked - my son was here during that day and time. :P

Heh. It's a real head-scratcher to me too. Seemed like a pretty laid back officer, probably typical for Brevard County, Florida. Early in the AM about sunrise. Maybe because there was little traffic and I have a clean driving record.

Only ended up with a 79 in a 70. :okthumb:

180+ is fast enough, but doing that drunk. <_< Nutso!

182mph is FUCKING INSANE.... but at least he's not one of those guys that buy toys and don't play with 'em.... B)

Why is it always fugly SOB's like this driving Lamborghini's

and now he's going down that mountain going fast fast fast
and if he blows it this one's gonna be his last
run to acapulco to turn that golden key
Henry keep your brakes for this corner if you please...........

when did you turn into Vick :P

heh, the last ticket I got was about 12 years ago. I was driving to work at about 6 AM and it was pitch black dark out. I was on a rural residential road that probably has about 50 cars a day go on it. Next thing I know I've got flashing lights behind me. The cop did the standard do you know why I pulled you over routine. He says you went through a stop sign and I clocked you doing 55 mph in a 25 mph zone. Needless to say I was shitting my pants because doubling the speed limit in PA is an automatic liscense suspension for like 6 months. He went and checked me out and made me sweat for like 15 minutes and then cited me for "disobediance to a traffic device" which isn't considered a moving violation and means it doesn't affect your insurance. He dropped the speeding altoghether and gave me about a 10 minute lecture on speeding instead. I was never so happy to get a ticket in my life. The guy cut me a huge break. :)
