My speedometer reads 160

The drive-thru guy saw my speedo and ask me if my car can do 160? Of course not I said. Remember American cars years ago, the speedo only read up to 85? I spent a lot of time with the needle buried on the "end stopper" just after 85; never knowing how fast I was really going.

"Hey, your speedo goes up to 160 this thing must pick up real good."
