It’s funny how car advertisements always talk about a car being exciting or thrilling to drive.

You want thrilling, try driving the NJ Turnpike at 80 mph in a 30-year-old Volkswagen Bug with suspect brakes. That’s thrilling! Exciting is barreling down a mountain like a bat out of hell in an out-of-control Renault R-4, so you will have enough momentum to get up the other side without shifting into first gear. Stimulating is a Volkswagen Campmobile Bus in a crosswind.

People just don’t know how to have fun!
