Wow, I feel retarded even weighing in on this one but being from Maine I figured I'd toss in my two cents. Mile markers here are 1 mile apart and the highway is empty enough, especially at night, to easily hit 200mph in a vehicle capable of such a feat. Knowing how the kids up here like to trick out their vehicles I can see 200 MPH as perfectly plausible.
I find consolation in these comments. If all the morons are busy on here here leaving comments, it means they're not having sex. And that's a good thing.
"I think everyone is missing the point. How does this text constitute a "text you shouldn't have sent last night?" This is a pointless addition due to its lack of debauchery, humility, or sarcasm. This site was a clever idea, however, I see it quickly deteriorating because of people posting unrelated or fabricated texts."
I'll second that.
as for the site deteriorating due to texts that "miss the point of the website)...TFLN has moderators that select which texts are posted. you can't simply submit "Hi. What are you up to?" as a text and expect to see it posted.
These comments are hysterical. Funnier than the post. Where I'm from MILE markers, mark MILES. Not tenth miles. Must be a nawthun thing. So I say 1 mile in 18 sec, which is about 180 mph. Yeah, not.
You're all fucking idiots for reading all of the posts, doing the math (incorrectly for the most part), and then trying to make your own points. Oh wait... I just did exactly that
OK Math illiterates...
2Mi/18sec = 1mi/9sec = .11mi/1sec
This means their going .11Mi/sec
Convert that back into MPH...
.11mi/sec X 60 = 6.66mi/min
6.66mi/min X 60 = 400MPH!!!

Pretty sure if you get out of a big city, the mile markers are actually a mile apart (at least where I go to school). So that would mean he went one mile in 18 seconds. Didn't think it was that hard to understand.
Wait, if we're going on 1 Mile Markers shouldn't it be around 150 mph?
One mile in 1 minute is 60 mph.
One mile in 30 seconds is 120 mph.
If you round to 15 seconds that's 150 miles an hour.
So he'd be going a little less than 150 mph, which is reasonable. I've done 130 mph in my little Civic.
I can't decide if I feel dumber or smarter after reading all that shit back and forth between a few of you....But one things for sure.. it just wasted about 5 minutes of my life....
mile markers mark miles. They're every mile, I dunno what state does it every .1 miles...
Also 18 seconds = 3/10th of a minute, 60 mph = 1mile/minute so 10/3 of 60 gives you 200 miles per hour. And between two posts is one mile.
But yeah this is bullshit as no one is going 200mph on the freeway.
Also don't bitch at other people because you can't do mental math.

hey...dumbass...they're called MILE markers, therefore theyre every mile!!!!!!!..if its anything other than a mile, their called something else!!!!!!!!!
wow.... i agree with the other person from Maine. Inaccuracy of counting aloud + the exclusion of fractions of a second + I95 (pretty much our only highway) + very young kids with really well paying seasonal jobs = I think that this is actually a damn feasible text.
ur stupid...they traveled a mile in 18 secs...that translates to 102 MPH, most cars govern out at 100 MPH, but going down hill they can go a little faster, so this text is probably true...dumb fuck!!
well if you take into account that most people start counting at 1 and not zero, its technically closer to about 19 seconds in which case would be about 189 mph.
Do not underestimate the drive (pun intended, I guess) of bored teenage Mainers who have nothing better to do with their time than work a bunch of jobs and funnel all that money into their cars. It's not every Mainer, definitely, but there are plenty of them, trust me.

Took you five minutes to read this? Maybe you are retarded... time to reevaluate
Dude, they very well could have been goin 200 miles, NEVER underestimate the sheer force that is stupidity. I went 110 mph once in my four cylinder 96 Toyota Tacoma in highschool. But I do concur with everyone who says this txt was filler. I just wanted someone to do the math for me.

No its not. most ferraris don't even reach 200 mph.
Unless these "tricked out" cars you see around are super cars, you are quite incorrect.
Hey, retard, passing BETWEEN 2 mile markers = a distance of 1 mile... good job on the 4th grade math... awful job using basic logic (which is what counts)
since i live in maine...first off, we don't have fucking time travel. so whoever said that is fucking retarded. and there is NOT enough traffic anyweheres on the interstate in maine that you would have to go 20 mph. so most likely they were going a lot faster than they should have been...
i thought it was funny. time feels different when smashed. and when traveling at a velocity that warps the space / time continuum. i used to watch star trek, i'll have you know.
Heads up mile markers aren't placed at 1 mile intervals. Most of them at 1/8 of a mile(at least where I live) intervals meaning around 22-24MPH. Which quite honestly makes even less sense.
"find consolation in these comments. If all the morons are busy on here here leaving comments, it means they're not having sex. And that's a good thing."
you just did too...and so did i...fuck
you're doing it wrong (all approximated for easy sake)
18 seconds...round it to 20. 20 seconds=2/3rdminute
so, 2 miles in about 20 seconds, and thus 1 mile in 10 second (APPROXIMATED)
and thus, 6 miles in a minute, multiply by 60 for the umber of minutes in an hour, you were traveling (APPROXIMATELY) 360mph...
so you were the heaviest, most powerful, and most aerodynamic car possible, going downhill, and had someone pushing at the same time...or in an aircraft of some sort.
