Ah hell, Mark...that's nuttin'. I sold my 1970 911T after getting an "energy conservation" ticket back when the 55 limit was in place. Sitting down? 57 in a 55...that was on interstate 5! I told the cop I was going to buy a gas hog 4X4 with dual tanks and drive 55 for him...at 8 MPG. What's really sad, I took time off work, went to trial. The judge backed up the cop, would not admit that a cops "calibrated" speedo could be 2 mph off.

Yeah, it was about the money. This was back in 1974, and it still makes me mad when I think about it.

V-1...the best damned self defense weapon since the single action colt revolver.
