I don't know the statistics on drinking arrests and accident reductions ~ I don't read the local commie-rag newspaper.
It was a nice car, I've always liked high performance vehicles; quite a few of my motorcycles and cars/pickups have been in that category. :)
I'm driving an '01 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning pickup, it came with 380HP, I SuperChipped it and it now has 425HP ~ old guys like to go fast, too. :)
I drive fast but not real fast. I am a private pilot too but I like slow puddle jumpers best.
