Driving home on the interstate this morning I was doing my usual 65 or so with the other traffic. Then these kids zipped by. I looked at my speedometer and guestimated they must be going more than 80. But I also noticed that, in my car, 70 MPH has the speedometer needle pointing straight up.

My speedometer goes to 130MPH!! Now, I don’t drive a big Mercedes that has to survive on the German autobaun.
I drive a Saturn.
I think it would fly apart above 100.
I only use the first half of the speedometer dial.

I just don’t know what possessed the designers of the car to make the speedometer go that high.
Another of life’s mysteries.
