the driver admitted that it was "about right" and I suspect the ECU will tell a lot of that info.

(Donning my Captain Obvious cape) Clearly, however, the driver isn't capable of going 163 mph, nor were the roads designed for that.

If it was an S it will certainly go that fast. Particularly on those long straight Florida roads.

He might have been unlucky in crashing it, but he was certainly lucky to walk away....that beast must have tumbled for a while.

One of my companies specializes in insuring all things automotive but refuses to do quick lube places, wonder why?

The same kind of people who say afterwards that she would bring cars to him in the future. :?

“He’s a good guy,” she said. “It was just an unfortunate accident.”
She said she’s still willing to bring her vehicles back to the station in the future.
“I have no reason to think I wouldn’t,” she said. “It’s a well-respected place.”
