    Fastest? All you need is a heavy load and a steep downhill. You'll be passing everyone in the hammer lane.

    Last year I drove a new international school bus, and the speedo went up to 140 mph....I suppose a purchasing agent found a good buy on the speedos and ordered a years worth of them. The numbers were so small you needed a magnifier to see them. I never knew how fast I was going, but I am pretty sure I never hit 140 mph with it.

    Oh, and they put the tach in the middle of the dash, and the speedo to the left side....what were they thinking??

    Yes, because prioritizing speed over safety is what makes you a man.

    People like you are why degree holders think we're morons.
