Awesome. Finally, a reasonable speed limit.

When I was a kid, the speed limit was 75, and cars at the time had:

Bias ply tires
Drum brakes
No seatbelts (not until '64)
No padded dash
No side impact door beams
No ABS
No roll-over protection
No computer designed crumple zones
No energy absorbing bumpers
No airbags


Now, cars have:

High speed rated radial tires
Dual circuit power assisted disk brakes
Pre-tensioning seatbelts (with shoulder harnesses)
Padded dashboards
Side impact door beams
Computer controlled ABS
Integral roll-over protection
Computer designed crumple zones
Energy absorbing bumpers
More fucking airbags than I can count on both hands

...and the speed limit is 65?

Really, somebody's fucking me...and I'm pretty sure it's the insurance industry.

For crissakes, even fucking Kias can do over 100 MPH.

65? Really?

Glad to hear that at least TX figured this stupid shit out.

Bravo.
