“You don’t have to have 500 horses just to get your lone carcass to work in safety”
Don’t bother. One of my very few gripes about FR is that at the same time we complain about sand barons controlling our economy through oil, FReepers generally launch into the “my super hemi whatever will drive through that and not feel the bump” rant whenever anything that both preserves the personal freedom of automobiling and gets great gas mileage is announced.
“never do you need to drive at maximum speed of the car nor are most drivers qualified to drive that fast”
Anyway speed isn’t a problem for drivers, only *relative* speed. Five cars bumper to bumper doing 110mph are ok until someone merges onto the freeway doing 40. Or likewise, 10 cars doing 60 are all happy as clams until one guy wants to blow through at 90. Maybe Kid NeverDroveBefore and Granny WhereDidIPutMyGlasses can’t manage 110, but they struggle to cope with 70mph too.
Also ‘need to’ is almost a curse word here as libs use it all over when they mean “I want to take away your rights.” For example, “You don’t need to own a semi-automatic rifle” or “Nobody needs more than $150k income per year.”

Thanks, I thought I was the only one annoyed by this.
Dear Hummer FRiends: we get it, you love your tank. Can’t we be able to ogle and coo over the newest car technology without your hectoring us on some mythical crash contest between our shiny new thing and your behemoth? We promise not to hector you back about how much you’re pumping up the Islamofascist economy. Thanks... :-)
