I was issued a jeep when I moved up the officer ranks in the Army. The motor pool set it to have a maximum speed of 55 mph. This was just after the energy crisis. The chief of the motor pool told me that he got mandates from the Pentagon to fix all vehicles to not be able to exceed the new maximum speed that was mandated for interstate travel. This was during the Carter years.
The Carter years another disaster. I miss the jeep when it rains just put down the windshield and drive on. The other thing I miss is the old slick, you could hear here way before you saw her and she had the sound of being all business as she approached. When she passed over you those turbines sounded sweet.
