When you get your car chipped, I am pretty sure they disable that.

Most cars that get shipped over here, as I understand it, are "goverened" - correct me if I am wrong.

Oh yeah...well they just changed the speed limit on one of my signs to 155. Now I'm just waiting for them to change the rest so that I have time to get up to that speed. ha
