Default Top Speed overload


Last night I made a top speed run at 110mph at night on a long partially deserted highway (I only passed one car)I had traveled at least 300miles through out the whole week, my car has 185,045 miles. Today I noticed I was low on oil and my radiator had minor drippage.

Does any one else have simalar stories on top speed runs

Not to promote any mischief... But I got my 1997 SC2 5 speed up to 119 (limiter kicked in). I was going down a hill on I80 going through Nebraska on the road trip from WI to AZ.

Use a little common sense.

1. You drive a Saturn, they are notorious for burning oil.
2. Did you check your radiator drain plug to see if it's loose? If that's not your radiator is cracked.
