... and that fact that just about everybody else out there is crazy! and drives like a maniac! cause, if ALL the car speedos in this country are ruled by the same government regs, then all those idiots are reading about 90 or 100 mph on THEIR speedos!

i wonder if that's why the government does it ... to make the hicks and dufuses "happy" about being able to "go fast and not get caught"??
