Question by chris o: can you become addicted to speed, not the drug, speed as in acceleration?
i don’t know why, but its almost like a drug for me. when i drive i cant help but drive anywhere from 90 to 120 mph. i tell myself to stop, but i just lose it and fly down the freeway. is it possible to become addicted to acceleration? i keep trying to stop, but the feeling of it is just so good.
