Well, some would say it then it isn't a car, really, with the freedom of the open road. But then you could raise the limit to 150-200mph. Imagine cross country at super car speeds every second of the way.
That's a whole 'nuther blog.And given time we'll take that on.( I do have some data on such things).
We have little confidence that folks can maintain attention if we bombard them with too many themes at once.So we're trying to stay on point.One blog at a time.
