I got the Odyssey going 115 mph with our 3rd child. We got half way to the hospital we were supposed to go to but praise the Lord there was a very good hospital at the halfway point. His head was crowning, my wife was screaming from the back seat and I go screaching into the ER with a police officer behind me (making sure I wasn't going to Denny's or something like that). Thankfully it was 2 am and no one was on the road except for an Odyssey with his hazards on going 115. The police officer didn't turn his blue lights on.

I had to ask for forgiveness of sorts from my wife. There for about 3 - 5 minutes all I was thinking about was outrunning a copper and just tuned out my wife.
