But I am terminally unable to understand why a company the size of honda
can't make a speedo that actually gets somewhat close to actual speed.
I have to drive 10 over the limit to be actually going five over. It's
then a bitch to get in my wife's Mazda which shows a lot closer to
actual speed. So going 10 over in it is really 10 over - speeding
ticket territory around here.
