Reminds me of when I used to tow the racecar on an open trailer.

Inevitably at and gas-station shop some guy would wander over and ask "How fast does it go?"

Initially I would respond with "Well that's really defined by gearing, not sure what the top speed is, but the cornering speed is really what matters... blah blah blah..." and all I'd get is this blank stare or an "Uhhh huh"

So then I just started making stuff up.

"Oh, 170". Not impressed.
"180MPH". Cool
"220, 221, whatever it takes" ...now the disbelief begun.
