Inside Edition

couple NY fchat members are gonna be on tonight...just reminding everyone to tune in!!

 

What time and channel, havent watched tv in months...well a whole show.

 

4:30 on F0X 5
its on right now, not sure if I missed the segment

 

watchin it right now, rob ferietti's the man

 

what was the story about?

 

100+++ mph speeding on the highways, and how POed the cops are about it
they call them superspeeders
very cool segment

 

I just saw a commercial for it. It comes on here at 7:30

 

I just bought the first two volumes of Beyond the 1/4 Mile
very excited

 

nice.. i have the second one he came out with... it was cool...

 

Third one be coming out soon too. Ya heard!

 

Just caught it, you NYC guys be careful out there. I had a good laugh about the speeding limo driver, 95 mph speed limit? HA! Wow Rob Ferretti, 50K is sales for your tapes is very impressive. Keep up the good work.

 

Got it Tivo'd. Gonna watch it this weekend.

 

Think you could get that hosted somewhere?

 

if you can get it on you computer can you host it on www.yousendit.com ?? Im sure Emil wouldnt mind using it for his site either Its about to come on now

 

I'm very technologically inept when it comes to these things (actually in general). But don't worry. I bet Robbie will host it himself.

I'm sure it will even become a clip on Vol. III -

 

Just saw it...all i can say is SWEET!! Its funny how the cop was so pissed when they were trying to catch up to the limo.

 

What a bunch of complete selfish freaking morons. For anyone who has a wife and kids on the road this should sicken you. keep it on the track

 

it was an act

a trooper was quite happy when he stopped me awhile back, I think I made his quota for the week LOL

 

scott you've come on runs where everyone drives fast more then once. Most of the members of this website have exceeded 100mph on public roads. Please dont be hypocritical.


Everyone else hope you got a kick out of it, little butcher job on the editing but what do you expect from inside Edition, I see it as a free infomercial.

 

thats exactly what it was, I just purschased the 2 volume pack of your DVD
very impressed

 

Point well taken, but at the same time: keep the family and the family truckster out of the fast lane!

 

Yes I have, And I am not against every once in awhile finding a nice stretch of open road with no traffic and having a little fun. What I saw on that show was this being done in heavy traffic and filmed for you to make money. What right do you have in endangering others just so you can make money? Now we will have some others giving it a shot and they will have to up the thrill level by doing even more crazy stunts to sell their video. Probably a few years ago I would have thought that was pretty cool but I guess that changes when you know your wife and child are on those same roads. Sorry just can't see this as being a responsible act.

 

Well that would help if it was contained to the fast lane, but what I saw was cars flying across all the lanes and cutting right in front of other cars and could easily cause someone to panic and lose control, And that is just not right.

 

CAN ANYONE POST THE VIDEO CLIP HERE FROM THE SHOW

I JUST GOT HOME AND MISSED IT

THANKS

BRUCE

HI ROB HI SCOTT.............

 

That's because the fast lane is rarely a lane. It's more of a a path through traffic.

Look, i'm not defending erratic driving and super speeders. But the mitigating factors of danger go both ways. It's not the speed that kills, it's the sudden stop -- or the differential between the two when they meet.

Personally, I view the Newport Soccer Moms driving their 4 ton SUVs in the fast lane NOT GOING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC while they yack it up on their cell phone and try to calm little johnny-son-of-a-***** in the back seat as much of a traffic hazard as someone driving like they spent too much time playing 'Need for Speed'.

Someone asked, earlier today, "Why would Mercedes build a radar enabled braking system that brakes for you?" and my answer, as snarky as it may be, was "Because people driving Mercedes have better things to do than pay attention to driving... like make up, talking on the phone, reading the Journal..." The sad truth is, those of us that like to drive and enjoy it have to share the road with people who would rather be doing ANYTHING but driving. (I'm sure I'm misquoting and paraphrasing, but you get the point: Not everyone likes to actually drive)

"Take it to the track", absolutely. But let's not forget: ****ING PAY ATTENTION!

If we were smart, we'd produce a "counter investigative report" about the space cadet drivers not moving with deliberate speed that clog my freeway and cause me to hit them!
