Do you have a fast car?



I was driving (the speed limit) in my car and this song came on the car radio - -

Wow - - I forgot how much I enjoy the song and Tracy Chapman


"Fast Car"     Tracy Chapman

  • I have a pickup truck.  I don't know its top speed.  The speed limit is lower pickup trucks than it is for cars and motorcycles where I live so I don't drive as fast.  I haven't had a ticket for excess speed in a few years.  Before that, I had four tickets for excess speed in three years so my insurance was too expensive.  My insurance is much less expensive now.  I want to keep it that way.

    I like her music, but OMG her lyrics are depressing.

    I've never maxed my Subaru. 110kmh (~70mph) is fast enough, I really can't afford speeding tickets. Fastest I've ever driven intentionally was 100mph in a Volvo 244, special circumstances - had I drawn the attention of the constabulary, they'd have provided an escort rather than ticketing me. On the freeway and my asthmatic daughter started hyperventilating. Calling an ambulance was pointless, I couldn't have told them with any accuracy where I was - "somewhere between Callington and Mount Barker" isn't terribly helpful. I knew where the Mount Barker hospital was, so I floored it.

    Good for you. I assume it all worked out. :)

    Yes, I'm with you on Chapman's lyrics.
