Or, like some of the cars I’ve had: Never.

When I was getting ready to go into the Reserves from Active Duty I bought a 1980 VW Rabbit Diesel for the economical value.

The only way it would go over 60 is if I drove it over a tall cliff.

I had an MG Midget years ago, and got a ticket for doing 85 in a 55 zone.

I was hopping mad.

That car could barely reach 80 downhill with the wind at my back and Fred Flinstoning the ground with my feet.

Still got the ticket...
