Sigh, considering how the idea of personal responsibility has faded over the
years, the more likely I think this troll could actually be right. Now I'm
not saying that it's right, but there's been a surgeon general's warning on
cigarettes for God knows how many years now, and yet people are still suing
cigarette makers?

It's insane that they read anything over 60. Someday GM is gonna get
sued over this. Somebody will get killed by a speeder doing 80 and
the victim's family will sue GM for selling cars that encourage
speeding.

In the late 70s and 80s, most (all?) cars had speedometers that would only
go up to 85. Were they mandated by the government? What year did they come
out? Why 85? At the time the maximum speed limit was 55.
