Mine (a Ford Explorer Sport-Trac) can, but some lawyer convinced Ford to put a 99 mph govenor on it...

I hate lawyers, almost as much as I dislike people who insist on my driving slow for no better reason than the fact that they cannot do so safely.

I've been over 200 mph on a track, up to 143 mph on the Autobahn, and once, back when I was young and stupid, around 165 on a relatively empty Interstate back in the US.

Still, I use my Sport Trac 98% of the time for around town driving, picking up firewood, strangers, and the occasional furniture item.

Perception isn't reality. It's merely an abstraction thereof, and quite often not a very good one at that.

I am human. Fully human.
