While on the Island of Maui last week I had a rental mustang convertible ( I was lying about the Vipor just to get Louie Jealous ! ) and really gave it a work out...I should be the poster child for why no one should ever buy a car from a rental company, on the twisitng " Road to Hana " and also up to the volcano at over 10,000 feet above sea level I gave the tires, suspension, engine, tranny and brakes a brutal workout...I hit speeds up to about 75 to 80 on the very short straights...down on the rest of the Island on the long straights I had the pedel to the floor and all she would do is about 110, after that in barely crept up so slowly I would always run out of road. I don't think it had much more than 112 to 115 at most left in her. When ever I am on vacation in a rental car my alt ego " the crazy american tourist " emerges...Andrea is planning to take videos from the passenger seat and sell them on ebay like " the girls gone wild " videos, this will be called " The Crazy American Tourist " goes wild in Maui or wher ever the location is at the time.
