I love the smoke effect on the ground, and the lights shining in the wrong way to effect the car. They dont have the tech for the right gloss angle yet. Gotta love the 80's though thats where i was born from

Nah, I did a search:

In 1973, the federal government mandated the 55-mph speed limit at the behest of President Nixon, who proposed it as a way to conserve fuel during the Arab oil embargo. States, which had always set the speed limits on their highways, suddenly found they had lost their authority.

In November, 1995, President Clinton signed a $6-billion transportation bill that ended the Federal 55-mph speed limit, and gave that authority back to the states, allowing them to set their own speed limits.
