Our speedometers


Why do cars have speedometers that show it can go 160mph (and probably could) but we aren't allowed to go that fast? Why would the car manufacturers actually be allowed to have cars that go that fast so we are tempted to speed? Why not make the cars go no more than like 90mph because I am a speeder at times and like to go 90mph on my way to Vegas, CA or Utah when it's the open road so I think that's a good number. Danny was coming home from CA last week and decided he would see how good our Volvo handles at a high speed so he got it up to around 130mph and said it handled the same as the lower speeds and how easy it was to get it go go that fast! That sounds fun...for a second but really if we have speed limits then why temp us? Anyhoo, just a thought for the day.

I had that same thought a few days ago. In college I got my 84 prelude to go 120 mph, and it was OLD! Yes, my huney is a Chiro, and the nose bleeds are from picking and dry weather....yuck!

Okay, I have always wondered that! So dumb! I think alot more teenagers and drunk drivers would under a bit more control. And when did you get a Volvo?

I have often wondered the same thing. Or why the speed limit signs say "limit", why not say speed maximum, because that's as fast as you can drive? hmmm..we must think alike!
