    my 78 firebird speedo only goes to 95... but I had it pointing straight down plus some when that jerk behind me turned on his flashing lights. turned out it was a DEA agent. He goaded me into it. really.... Once he figured out I wasn't runnin drugs, he sent me on along my way. Good thing, cause it would have really sucked to get haulled off to jail less than two miles from my house.

    ALSO it is worth mentioning... DEA dude couldn't hang. He was waaaaaaay back there...

    On the flip side of the coin... I was in my 66 C 10 with worn out 50s in the back, on a snowy day in Ga. ( the blizzard of 93 ) Was trying to climb the hill to the house. Was in second gear, speedo showing about 45, and creeping up the hill sideways at probably two miles per hour, tires SCREAMING. I parked it and walked the rest of the way home. the snow burned off by noon, and I walked back and got it then.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
