My first car wouldn't go 80mph if you dropped it off of the International Space Station.

Yes it would - although when you take air resistance into account this topic becomes a real drag http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/phy00/phy00800.htm

If you dropped it off the International Space station, it would laready be going several thousand miles per hour even before it found its way to the atmosphere. It was only a joke.
