  • Wow, I feel retarded even weighing in on this one but being from Maine I figured I'd toss in my two cents. Mile markers here are 1 mile apart and the highway is empty enough, especially at night, to easily hit 200mph in a vehicle capable of such a feat. Knowing how the kids up here like to trick out their vehicles I can see 200 MPH as perfectly plausible.

  • "I think everyone is missing the point. How does this text constitute a "text you shouldn't have sent last night?" This is a pointless addition due to its lack of debauchery, humility, or sarcasm. This site was a clever idea, however, I see it quickly deteriorating because of people posting unrelated or fabricated texts." I'll second that.

  • mile markers are 1/10th of a mile apart. 18 seconds to travel 1/10th of a mile is a blazing 20 mph

  • Not every state in the Union has mile markers set to .1 or .2 miles. In SC we have them once every mile.

  • These comments are hysterical. Funnier than the post. Where I'm from MILE markers, mark MILES. Not tenth miles. Must be a nawthun thing. So I say 1 mile in 18 sec, which is about 180 mph. Yeah, not.

  • You're all fucking idiots for reading all of the posts, doing the math (incorrectly for the most part), and then trying to make your own points. Oh wait... I just did exactly that

    Submitted by Anonymous on Apr 30, 09 at 3:27am
  • OK Math illiterates... 2Mi/18sec = 1mi/9sec = .11mi/1sec This means their going .11Mi/sec Convert that back into MPH... .11mi/sec X 60 = 6.66mi/min 6.66mi/min X 60 = 400MPH!!! Somebody's been sneaking into the Air Force's garage and stealing jet engines!

  • Pretty sure if you get out of a big city, the mile markers are actually a mile apart (at least where I go to school). So that would mean he went one mile in 18 seconds. Didn't think it was that hard to understand.

    Submitted by Anonymous on Apr 30, 09 at 2:17pm
  • Wait, if we're going on 1 Mile Markers shouldn't it be around 150 mph? One mile in 1 minute is 60 mph. One mile in 30 seconds is 120 mph. If you round to 15 seconds that's 150 miles an hour. So he'd be going a little less than 150 mph, which is reasonable. I've done 130 mph in my little Civic.

  • mile markers mark miles. They're every mile, I dunno what state does it every .1 miles... Also 18 seconds = 3/10th of a minute, 60 mph = 1mile/minute so 10/3 of 60 gives you 200 miles per hour. And between two posts is one mile. But yeah this is bullshit as no one is going 200mph on the freeway. Also don't bitch at other people because you can't do mental math.

  • well if you take into account that most people start counting at 1 and not zero, its technically closer to about 19 seconds in which case would be about 189 mph.

Unless these "tricked out" cars you see around are super cars, you are quite incorrect.

  • you're doing it wrong (all approximated for easy sake) 18 seconds...round it to 20. 20 seconds=2/3rdminute so, 2 miles in about 20 seconds, and thus 1 mile in 10 second (APPROXIMATED) and thus, 6 miles in a minute, multiply by 60 for the umber of minutes in an hour, you were traveling (APPROXIMATELY) 360mph... so you were the heaviest, most powerful, and most aerodynamic car possible, going downhill, and had someone pushing at the same time...or in an aircraft of some sort.
