. . . .for going too damn fast!?
Many years ago, I had a 73 XKE, that had a speedometer that went up to "160" mph. One night on an empty highway at 2 am, I tried to see just how fast I could get it to go. At around 130, it felt like floating on air, things wizzing bye fast, so I backed off the accelerator, and it felt like I dropped out an anchor and slowed right down to around 90. Anyway, it still felt like it didn't top out, and could have gone faster, but I never pressed my luck again, once was enough.
(Oh yeah, I was lucky enough to "not" get a ticket, as no cops were around)
