What’s the fastest you’ve driven?

Most scared I’ve ever been on a vehicle, I was riding the fender on one of those huge eight wheel John Deere tractors, helping a buddy feed some beef cattle in western WA. It had been raining a bit and the sod was saturated. We went off the top of a hill towing a heavy farm trailer with maybe 15 tons of hay on it. What came next can only be described as a sleigh ride. About 200 ft of descent controlled only by gravity and whipping the wheel back and forth to try and keep that tractor in front of the trailer. Probably never exceeded 25 mph, but my butthole puckered so hard I probly left a mark on the fender., and my hand probly dented the paint where I was grabbing the bar that holds the roof up.

That reminds me of working on the farm in eastern Washington back in the day, roading the tractor and baler over the hill to another field, mile long descent, push and hold the clutch. I think the fastest I ever got that tractor was about 50. Looking back on it I’m amazed I lived this long

216 mph in my brother's twin turbo gated manual Lamborghini Gallardo on a public road. Was fairly certain we were going to die if I didn't blackout before we died. I never rode in it again.
 
185 in a BMW 325i.....purely because I wasn't paying attention and I got a speeding ticket for 160.
