The thing that  makes me wonder about the "it's all legal" type
statement is that the speedometer (and odometer) are still in KPH -
and it doesn't have a MPH scale.  Last time I checked into this,
changing the speedometer was one of the main things that had to be
done for certification, unless it had a dual scale, then sometimes
they would wave it...
