[RKDinOKC]

Met a girl in college that drove a Pinto. He father was the chief of police in a small town. He put a governor on her car so it would NOT go over 40 mph so she would stay in Stillwater and NOT go visit her boyfriend in Norman. She made the trip anyway. I found out about the 40mph limit only after I hitched a ride to OKC on one of her trips. It took forever, but it was free.

I could not imagine why anyone would put a governor to limit the speed on a car that is known to explode when rear ended!!

On the way back, we are cruising at a blistering 42mph up I-35. There was a big thump and a loss of speed as the engine reved wildly. Then I noticed a gear rolling past us from under the car. The transmission blew up!! I couldn't keep from laughing when I saw parts from the car passing us.
