Default OT, the total opposite of Model A speed

I saw this on another forum I am on and was floored watching it. Man, what technology can do nowadays. The total opposite of our cars.

That car could not go much faster than my A on CT's twisty, bumpy high crown roads, and if he obeyed the posted speed limit signs (which seem to be designed for model A's), he would go no faster!
