...yeah, buck-forty-five isn't even gentlemen's-agreement v-max...

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 @[email protected]

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

What's that in football fields per commercial break (brought to you by Carl's Jr(tm))?

1 VSSTS = 39.28 FF/CB

The best part of this reply

They teach that in gunday school.

That looks like an M5, it can definitely go at 300kmh, about 75% the speed of a Veyron
