“We came close to that back in the 80s, when by government edict, speedometers stopped at 85.”
I didn’t know that, as I was overseas for most of the 80s.
I just figured crap American 1980s cars wouldn’t go any faster.

1985 Rented Plymouth Reliant
Measured mile on Interstate 10 in Southern Cal.
Calculated at 110 mph with speedometer pinged well past that 85 mark. Car would not give me anymore speed.
Later in the trip I got it pinged about 10mph faster going down a very long hill. Fastest I have ever driven.
