Default Top End

Several times in my younger days, (young and dumb), I took my Cobra to 165 MPH, or there abouts. At that speed the speedometer and tach are bouncing all over the place.

Could have been only 160, those original gauges bounced like Mexican Jumping Beans at those speeds. Once I had my first daughter, I realized that I was being selfish/dumb to go that fast.

Something about being a father made me slow down, now granted I only slowed down to somewhere between 130 and 140. But reality HAD sunk in !
