They build overpowered cars and ignore a lot of things so cars look "cool."

Often I get on a nearby freeway going north at the top of a loooong hill. At the bottom I exit west on another freeway. I know as I'm on the entrance I can coast and hit the exit interchange at 70 mph. Often I see people accelerating DOWN the hill then slamming on their brakes at the curved interchange. Its two lanes that merge into one. On a good day they'll pass me accelerating, then when they put on their brakes I pass them without using my gas pedal one bit. I get about 400 mpg on that downhill run... they get A LOT LESS and they wear out their brakes way faster turning kinetic energy into wasted heat energy. These are the same idiots who floor it up to red lights only to hit it seconds before it turns green. I rarely have to redo my brake pads... mine probably last 4x as long as most people's. This is why I invested in an oil company. I think I could drive anyone's car and get 20% better mileage and less depreciation damage just by using my brain a little bit and in 50% of cases get to where I'm going faster. Americans are spoiled idiots. Liberals and conservatives alike.
