Default Speedometer Photos

Anyone have any good quality photos of a speedometer showing high speeds? I am making a graphic for work and want a nice photo showing high speed...maybe 80+.

I know it is a weird request, but my guess is we have some weird members. It does not need to be a F-Bod speedo, but something in darker colors is needed.

Please message me if you have some.

That second one is awesome! I hope you didn't just risk you engine for me! Thanks Man!

If anyone else wants to add, the higher the resolution the better as the graphic will be printed at about 11"x17".

Size is more important than speed, a cam set at 3+ megapixel, still photo should be nice. Like I said, 80+ should indicate high speed, and I am creating a graphic that tells the reader about high-speed internet connection. Don't get caught or kill yourself, it ain't worth it.

Flash will likely reflect off the clear shield, anything that has nice resolution should work well.
