I would not go that far. I grew up in Canada, so I am still used
to km/h and such, but I am currently being corrupted at an alarming
rate. Anyway going 280km/h is much more impressive that 165mph.
Still can't remember how many feet in a yard, let alone a mile.
I wish the states went metric as well!
