Yeah, just turn the volume off because my voice in the video sounds stupid and I couldn't speak right that night for some reason. It's a Ford Explorer going abour 107 mph on a straight road. Joy?

107 mph in an Explorer is one of the reasons why Ford had the Firestone tire debacle a few years back......I'd be willing to bet those tires are speed rated at less than 107. Blow out a tire at that speed and you are toast.

They are actually rated to 110 mph.

But yes, that was the most pathetic display of power, I KNOW. Just felt like letting you view for a laugh, which i think i did accomplish!

I gotta say though, that Explorer is amazing for doing so much shit. It's still an excellent off roading SUV(ok, urban off roading).
