Well, first of all, I forgot to mention that I took the shot at badlands national park , SD at hwy 44 and there's no other person or car (just plenty prairie dogs) when I was visiting mount rushmore with my GF and that's my GF taking the shots. I wouldn't dare taking that kind of picture while speeding that fast.
About the celcius thingy, I'm not from the US (from asia) so I'm more comfortable with celcius temprature rather than farenheit (mind me if I spell it wrong) but can't set the speed at kmh or I'll always be over the speed limit. Btw, the needle in the C class is too hard to read IMO.

anyway, this is where I did it.... Just to avoid any lectures about not to speed on a local freeway. You can see that the pic is taken from the passanger side and it's a loooonnnnggggggg road that seems to have no end and it was very smooth for almost 12 miles. If you still don't believe me, check any atlas for hw 44 near badlands national park and you'll see that it's very remote and straight. Wouldn't dare to do it on a crowded interstate.

I think you can change the speedo from mph to kmh right? I'm sure you can change the speedo from kmh to mph in UK too especially in an SL. It's all in the setting menu on the HUD or whatever you call the center screen is.

Actually how did you change your speedometer to mph? Us guys in the SL forum are having a little trouble with the cars in UK.

Anyway.. Ames, Iowa is the town where I go to school at iowa state university. Call me stupid but this little town has the best chinese food in the midwest I dare to say and they're cheap also. Anyway, I'm originally from Indonesia the country of terror as CNN and that god damned Bush always says (hyperbole). No offense but I hate Bush. Back to the topic.

Well, if I have an SL55 and no speed limiter, I'd be going more than that maybe.... but, my coupe won't pull any harder above 125. Acceleration drops severely above 115.

makes sense since the auto only has 5 speeds.
