Freedom Unit conversion:

Speed Limit on Highway 174: 62.14 mi/h
Car Speed: 145.4 mi/h

That by itself means nothing to me.

What made me realize. How fast that is, is that it’s halfway to the top speed of a veyron SS

Silly @Frog@Lemmy.ca

They forgot that US highway speed units are measured as a ratio of a veyron SS's top speed. For those that don't know, that's 7.37 billion bald eagle wingspans per presidential term.

What's that in football fields per commercial break (brought to you by Carl's Jr(tm))?

1 VSSTS = 39.28 FF/CB

c'mon, every god fearin'merican knows that! They teach that in gunday school.

The best part of this reply

They teach that in gunday school.

lol I meant top speed. But bald eagle/presidential term is definitely superior

That looks like an M5, it can definitely go at 300kmh, about 75% the speed of a Veyron
