Why does the speedometer in my truck appear to allow the engine to reach 120 mph but has a governor that kicks in and momentarily cuts the gas off as soon as you hit 96? Isn't that just a little bit misleading? That's 25 mph worth of dash space completely wasted, not to mention a blatent tease. What happens when the car your following (aka allowing to sweep the road ahead for cops) decides to go faster than 95? What then??
