Calling me a liberal is almost as funny as this article.
I had my share of fast cars but grew up, eventually.

There is a time and place for fast cars and the neighborhood streets simply isn't it. Terrorizing children pets and others' property isn't it.
Please present compelling argument otherwise; I'm willing to listen.

For the record, let me repeat, I am not in favor of legislating fast cars; only the idiots who abuse the opportunity to buy one.

As for the rest of your puerile name-calling, I will simply let your second-grade rant speak for itself.

I would love to have a '68 Camaro with a 600 hp L-88, Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher, and a 12 bolt posi. If I had the extra cash and the opportunity to buy/build one, and did, would I then, as your statement suggests, be an idiot for doing so?

If not a Camaro, how about a Ferrari 308, like on Magnum P.I.

I agree -- in general terms -- with what you have said here.

One of the most pathetic aspects of the grief hurled at you is the belief on the part of other posters that ~everyone~, in his secret heart, must want a flashy car. I bet they also feel sad when they notice my wrist and presume that I can not afford a three-pound Rollex.

There is not accounting for taste.
