KpH, that is.

And I _still_ couldn't hear the engine over Lou Reed! Of course, this all
makes a lot more sense if you take into account that my previous car was a
Volvo 740 Diesel.

I really fell in love with the LeBaron, but these days I limit myself to a
2.5 L. They've become hard to find though.

I'm now hunting for a 2L Turbo.
