So you know those speed limit trailers on the side of the road that flash your speed while also displaying the “speed limit”?  Well, I always wondered what they would do if you really just flew past one.  Turns out, last night I got my answer - I approached said trailer in excess of 100mph and immediately the sign reacted with a baffling display of numbers … 55 … 62 … 74 … 67 … 45 … and then nothing.  I know they can’t display triple digits, but I thought I could get an easy 99 flashing on that thing.  All in all, it was kind of disappointing.

Secondly, I’d like to send a brief letter to Volkswagen of America …

Dear Volkswagen,

Thank you very much for crafting your Jetta GLI with superior components that allowed me to narrowly avoid a collision at just over 100mph with some dumb bitch who chose that inopportune moment to attempt a lane change in front of me.  My cat-like reflexes and your nifty car saved the day! My passengers didn’t even have time to shit their pants as your nimble little Jetta snaked effortlessly past the stupid cunt.

Thanks again,

Me
