Matt Dillon arrested for speeding in Vermont
December 31, 2008

BOSTON (Reuters) - Hollywood actor Matt Dillon was arrested and charged with driving at an excessive speed after police clocked him traveling at 106 miles per hour on a Vermont interstate highway.

The star of the 2004 movie "Crash" was pulled over at about 10 p.m. on Tuesday in the town of Newbury after he was caught on police radar traveling north at high speed in a rented 2009 Chevrolet Impala, said Vermont State Police Sgt. Tara Thomas.

The New York-based 44-year-old actor is scheduled to appear in Vermont's Orange County Court on January 21. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of three months in jail and a $300 fine.

Matt Dillon was clocked at a 106......how in the hell did he prod a horse up to that speed.

Maybe he can teach us how to prod lazy DUmmies into a job.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Okay, now we know where the governor kicks in at on an Impala.  I know my old Expedition did 104.  I don't know where the governor kicks in on the Jeep, nor do I on Mrs. Sparky's car (and on the latter, I'm not sure I want to).
