I don't mind the MPG, don't get me wrong. As long as the car can accelerate at a reasonable speed, more power to them if they can sell that Bobsled to someone. I just don't see it as a practical family car. I personally don't see myself buying one, but I'm a truck guy. Don't like my ass being six inches off the ground in a Lazyboy recliner. I'll be much happier once we have automatic pilot, like in the Demolition Man Movie.

Just the whole traffic situation is starting to rub me a little raw. My commute has gone from 13 minutes to 20 minutes in the last two years. And a lot of it has to do with these Rice Wagons going 0-60 in thirty minutes. I've noticed spending a lot more time inbetween 1st and 2nd gears, because some pokey Honda can't get up to speed. Not to mention the Traffic Lights springing up every 500ft on a Blvd. Guess I'm just a lead foot (Always will be). Seven minutes doesn't sound like a lot, but I've also noticed my MPG have declined as well, because of this herky jerky traffic problem.
Now it's gonna even get more hectic with the cameras they are putting up to catch red light runners. I see it causing more accidents, because the bone head in front of me will slam on his breaks when the light turns yellow. I just need to get out of the big city I guess, before I act on my road rage. Thank God for Heavy Metal or I would surely have killed someone by now (especially that idiot on the cell phone swerving into my lane).
Well, now that I vented my road rage. Time to vent my air rage and shoot down some ruskies on IL-2.
