Back when the 55 mph speed limit was en vogue during the Carter years, I rented a U-Haul which had a mechanism in the accelerator that prevented the truck from going faster than 55 mph. I could see a return to cars that cannot exceed, say, 70 mph, especially as the EPA nazis continue their crusade.

Ug how socialistic. Top speed for my car is about one football field length per second. I got close once in ten years.

That would be a real bummer on Texas roads that have an 85mph speed limit.

Do you remember when speedometers would only read to 80 of so, with the supposed idea (I guess) that it made drivers think cars would go no faster.

The POS smog-mobiles back then often could not.
