I did that once and got a ticket for going 30 in a 25 MPH zone. It 
was in an MGB that actually had a carburetor. I believe my fuel 
injected Jeep will go upwards of 140, so I can't trust it to keep me 
around 65. Massachusetts also has this dumb law that says pedestrians 
have the right of way. With the thing at full throttle it's very 
tough to avoid hitting them. On the Interstates here it's tough to 
keep up with everyone else. I'll keep the speedometer.
