The full quote in dirty imperial units:
I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I’m free.
– The Fast and the Furious
How was this translated to metric?
All our colloquialisms and such like are still rooted in the old units.
I suppose we might say “fuel economy” but only if we’re trying to sound fancy.
