1 AI-enhanced file storage certainly sounds like the future. I'll keep it in the fridge next to the AI-enhanced three-bean salad.

2 Buy extremely expensive automobile.
Disable rev limiter.
Weep profusely when you blow the engine to smithereens and the manufacturer won't let you return it.

3 I have a suspicion that the people who know enough to remove the engine limiters on cars are smart enough not to try to get warranty work if they blow the engine.  I bet there's someone out there ready to disprove me, though.
I knew a guy who got one of the first Hemi Chargers when Dodge brought them back around 2005, and he came in ranting to work one Monday because he'd hit the limit (130MPH, IIRC) over the weekend.  He said he had a cousin who was a mechanic and talked about getting the limiter removed, but I don't know if he ever did or not, and I think he was smart enough not to destroy the engine.  Probably.
