Ah, who could forget the Dodge Neon. The epitome of the mass-produced sedan, built specifically to satisfy the needs for the point-a-to-point-b masses.
Funny enough, Dodge decided to build a super-sports version of the Neon in 2003, after the back-then boss saw a niche for it while walking the SEMA show floor. Needless to say, the 208 horsepower, turbocharged Dodge Neon dropped some jaws, and that was a pretty good thing. For the most part…
Fast forward 13 years, and it turns out that teenagers are still wrecking havoc with these mighty machines, as the Maine State Police recently reported. The sighting? A blue Neon was clocked at 146 mph on an interstate highway. And yes, the driver was arrested.
Police officers explained their disbelief when they came across such rare sight, and even admitted that this was the fastest they had ever caught somebody driving on their turf. They even took the time to snap a photo of the roadside attraction and put it on their Instagram.
While doing such speeds on public roads is unthinkable and completely irresponsible, you have to applaud the little Neon for being such a badass so many years later.
Sorry dude, it looks like you won’t have a license for a while!
