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.

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