Tell everyone how fast their car can go based on how high the speedometer can go? Also, why does everyone lie? I know a guy who said he got his baseline 1994 Accord up to OVER 130mph...

But a baseline 94 Accord can definitely go far faster than 130mph...

If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let'em go, because, man, they're gone.

It beats people who calculate top speed based on gearing. If I could top out my 5th gear I'd be doing 215 MPH. Drag however, says my 230HP will only get me to about 125MPH. The engine computer says "KNOCK IT OFF!" at about 117.

haha, reminds me of that commercial. i think it was for starburst.

2 factory workers are standing there and one opens a starburst package and starts to eat. the other worker wants one so the 1st guy throws it to the 2nd but it falls in this barrel of liquid. the guy reaches in and fishes around for awhile and then realizes his arm is missing (barrel is full of acid). so he reaches in with his other arm. he says he has it and goes to pull it out but his other arm is gone now. the 1st goes to reach in and grab it now. kinda dumb but was kinda funny
