I honestly have no idea where they originally came from, I got them on one
of those FW:FW:FW:FW:FW:FW:FW: type emails from a friend of mine. THere was
no information with the pix.
about 20 minutes on google finds a little information on the pix... a lot of
mention of 90KPH. (54MPH?? ) Its amazing just how strong trees are.

Doesnt make sence to me ether. Thats the only speed number I have found on
this. Im thinking that number came from the picture of the dash, the speedo
still says 90.

when i was on the FD i worked a lot of accidents involving guard rails,
bridge pillars, trees, ect. on the interstate. never did i see a car torn
like that one was. im guessing 54 is a low est. 90 sounds a little more like
it.

In one of the pix, it shows the speedo frozen at 90... so its just a
question of English, or Metric??

i didnt notice the speedo in the pic. i knew there was one of the dash but
didnt look close enough to see if you could read it.

I does look like KM but if you think about it I'm sure the speedo
dropped as they were sliding sideways. No way thay happened at
that low of a speed.
