Bury the needle

Driving an automobile, motorcycle or any other vehicle equipped with a speedometer, and driving at a rate of speed faster than the top speed that the vehicle's speedometer can read. The pointer or "needle" will either dissapear below the gauge or rest on the pin just below the highest increment on the speedometer.

Last week I tried to bury the needle on my Corvette and I succeeded. It has a 160 MPH speedometer, so I know I was going 161 Plus.
