speed

>>If they don't want us to drive us fast, why do they make such cars? And why
do the speedometers go up so high?<<

One good reason is so that we can call on the reserve of power and floor-board it, getting out of the way of that 10 ton truck that is bearing down on us...This is a good reason for NOT putting governors on automobiles as some have suggested...

Maybe the high numbers are to accomodate conversion to Kilometers/hour
