Too funny
My great-great-grandpa had several cars when he was young, including his "fastest car", which was a Ford Model A. It topped out at around 45-50 mph (for a speed that you'd want to drive for any distance), so it took him four hours to go around 180-200 miles. Later on in life, he bought a newer car (unsure which one) that had a much, much higher comfortable top speed, which gave him the ability to drive a longer route with stops (!!!) in less time than he used to be able to drive that 200 miles.
You see how that works?
