coltboostin Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Live, learn, and appreciate life! Sometimes we get lucky. Cant believe its been 10 years. http://www.ecmtuning.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9415 The little seen full video. 10 years later, I don't think there is anything to hide anymore. Have your fun, just do it within reason. Near 200mph with no aero work is not advisable.

zeitgeist57 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I know where that was...you naughty, naughty basterd. (I-71 north, from Bagley Road on the way to the airport?) Knowing that you survived, that was a cool video to watch...crazy stuff. Made me also realize the even crazier things people do online a scant 10 years later.

jeffro Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I can only imagine the look on the responding officers face when he sees the skid marks continuing for a half mile. (assuming the police even came lols) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 JP, go buy another Tercel and slap a big wing on it. Jeebus man. Glad you made it out okay but 200MPH on a public street? Jeez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Who's the joker you talked into riding along???! Buddy of mine, he is not on here. Sad to say, I have not talked to him since that day (his choice) I can only imagine the look on the responding officers face when he sees the skid marks continuing for a half mile. (assuming the police even came lols) Thank god local Mexican cops are lazy. By the time they showed up, I already had a tow 5 minutes away so they just wanted it to get off the road. Also lucky, it came to rest nicely against the shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 "we're gonna die!" Quite the opposite. I was calm, poised, even focused trying to keep it straight and slow it down. I remember the whole thing like it was yesterday, and I remember not being scared, just being focused on keeping it out of the ditch and away from the poles.

EssFo Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Large amount of adrenaline will do that do your memory. I've had a few very close calls in the past (none quite as dumb as what you attempted) and I can remember every detail of the events.

STEVE-O Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I remember this tale shortly after I began into the car scene and glad you were okay and still here to keep the sport alive and help others to this day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Do you have any aftermath photos? x2. I remember yesterday seeing it in your sig, and was like wtf? 195? Never knew the story in the short time Ive been on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 194 MPH in a Colt, holy fuck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I can't make up my mind as to which is more impressive: The fact that you walked away with seemingly no major injury or the fact you were actually able to push a FWD colt that fast with a completely stock body.

RC K9 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Pass. I start to get a little iffy around 130+. 140+ and I am pretty scared. Did 140+ (that's all the higher the 1G speedo goes, and it was buried), and I don't know that I care to do that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 So what ended up happening to make it crash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 So what ended up happening to make it crash? lack of down force / air under car. looks to have lifted right up. in the end, physics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 JP, I remember the video/crash and can't believe it's been 10 years already. I'm glad you're still with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Lucky to be alive bro! What is this shit embedded in the video during the flip? http://i.imgur.com/GHCGL86.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Good call, Jordan...I was wondering that too. Made me second-guess whether the video was faked/doctored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
