I must say though that its nice to see someone have something constructive to say. I appreciate it
Edit: also the late night forum stint was basically to keep me awake while writing an essay, otherwise there's not a chance in hell I would've made it haha

Haha, I couldn't resist. I had the (retrospectively) unfortunate experience of going to law school. It's not the forum people you have to worry about...it's the outsiders. If you were to get into some trouble later on... driving too fast, reckless driving anything like that, people could theoretically search these forums. If there's anything the safety nazis like bashing on more than drunk drivers it's 17 year old boys driving too fast in nice cars. It's remote-and likely wont ever happen-but the internet is forever and crazier stuff has happened, especially lately with all these news stories where people have been "found" online.
Perhaps most relevant to you, I recently saw a story on the news where college admissions officers had befriended people on facebook to see what their friends (who were applicants) were doing and then browsed around other sites for info. It's crazy and absurd, but as a society we've gotten to the point where we can't deal with people having private lives. So, just try to guard what you say.
If it were me, I'd say something like, "...yea I went 110 (or 150) out in the middle of nowhere, it was awesome, nobody around." That way I'm covered-110 what, where is nowhere and how do you define its middle?
I understand you may have been driving for a while, but 110 in a car you basically just got can be risky- especially since I am assuming in that 3 week period you weren't out in the middle of nowhere. I've had my Cayman for 4 months and I still haven't gone that fast or as fast as I'd like. That's because I haven't really been able to get out of LA, and there really isn't anywhere safe in this town to do that. It's not you or me or the car, it's all the random things and people that happen on our roads here.
As for the essay part- no comment!
