# 88mph! that's impossible
nothing can go faster than FIFTY MILES PER HOUR!

# Pointless fact that is about to be shot down by B3ta L33T
In BTTF, the actually had to modify the speedometer coz a DeLorean can only hit 85mph

# was the law
Government restrictions on US cars in the early 80s, most cars made at the time would have similar speedometers, though top speed went higher...
Would have added a little extra suspense to the film though "Marty, we have to get to 88mph... not quite sure how fast we are now... but we're nearly there"

# A guy I work with
named his daughter Harriette Anne Lawson. Deliberately. H.A.L. Yes, for that reason.
I'm not sure if to call him a sicko or shout praise from the rooftop!
