Cool! Thanks for the link.

 

I love the '85 commercial!

"You're only talkin' MAZDA RX-7"

 

"EXPERIENCE" lol. this is going on my myspace

 

i've seen the 83 commercial but the 85 is new to me. i had at one point one for the 84 GSL-SE and one for the 88 RX-7 and the links are shot.

 

did u see the drifting in the 83 ad? ahahaha...very cool!

 

sorry about where i put it doc. thats my bad

 

haha...those arent fast forwarded. Very cool

 

ha zero to 50 in 6.3 seconds

 

That's because back in the days when 55 was the national speed limit, the safety ***** frowned on anything that even remotely suggested a person might break the law. Speedometers only went to 85, and 55 was highlighted in some fashion.

And yes, I am that old.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_l...s_.2855_mph.29
Federal speed limit controls (55 mph)

In response to the 1973 oil crisis, Congress enacted a National Maximum Speed Law that federally mandated that no speed limit may be higher than 55 mph. The law was widely disregarded, even after the national maximum was increased to 65 mph in 1987 on certain roads. In 1995, the law was repealed, returning the choice of speed limit to each state.


Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maximum_Speed_Law
The National Maximum Speed Law (in the United States) is a provision of the 1974 Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act[1] that capped all speed limits at 55 mph (90 km/h). This cap was intended to conserve gasoline in response to the 1973 oil crisis. This law was modified in the late 1980s to allow 65 mph (100 km/h) limits. In 1995 it was repealed, returning the power of setting speed limits to the states.
