I've heard that at speeds in excess of 200mph......you are supposed to keep the windows rolled up....

         My daily driver shop truck  5.3 L33  with 471,000 km has a 200km speedo  

         but the engine starts to "splutter" at 155-158 km    Does it need a tune up?

       when my 03 red stepside was stolen by 2 Indigenous males, the OPP officer called and wanted to know if we had a "chip" in it  

      We said yes   He said he wondered, as the 4.8 LS "was pulling away" from his cruiser at buck sixty

I looked at a 4 door 59 Chevy project down in the Middleton, NS area a few years back, the dash had been burnt up in a fire but the guy had a complete replacement dash. The speedo was in MPH, but it has a sticker inside the plasctic speedo lens with KPH on it. I always wondered who made the sticker and when it was installed in the 59.
The car was a 4 door hardtop with a 348 and likely a turboglide tranny. It was all in pieces, floor and rear quarters rusted, haven't seen it for sale since. I think I have a pic here somewhere.
