Reply #37: Because I'm tired of paying the costs for your horsepower fetish [View All]

[krispos42]

I'm tired of paying the extra car and health insurance costs, for the extra police and firemen and EMTs to scape horsepower-addicts off the tarmac. I'm tired of people that think a fancy car with plenty of power gives them the right to weave in and out of traffic 20mph above what everybody else is driving.

And I'm tired of paying more for gas because you don't care how much your shiny sports car consumes.



And in case you're wondering, I have first-hand experience with people with too much horsepower and not enough brains.




That WAS my beloved Subaru Impreza Outback Sport, until it fell victim to some idiot weaving in and out of traffic in a late-model Volvo S60. I was doing 55mph in the right lane, towing a U-Haul trailer.

My personal tragedy trumps your theoretical arguments! So there! :P :-)
