That is exactly what I tried to tell the officer. If I had been going 55 in a 45, then my ancient diesel Rabbit's engine would have been roaring like a jet in take-off. He still wrote the ticket. Jerk.

True. I hauled a big wing chair (not like a wingnut) home from an estate sale in mine. And it got great mileage but finally gave up the ghost. But it was a bad car chose for Minnesota winters. Diesel fuel gets like gelatin if you aren't careful.
