Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / November 2007Americans are pigs as far as cars are concerned...
Cars today way more than they did in '68, and they have far too much power! Who needs a 250 horsepower sedan? Louis and Clark only had 1 horsepower, and they crossed the USA! I wish that cars had all less than 150 horsepowers, and they weiged less than 3300 lbs. These would be great laws to start off with. > Cars today way more than they did in '68, and they have far too much > power! Who needs a 250 horsepower sedan?

If you want to buy a car that weights 3000 lbs and has 100 horsepower you go right ahead, no one is stopping you. You should have the same respect for the rights of people who want to buy bigger, more powerful cars. Also, did you ever stop to think about WHY cars WEIGH more than they did in 1968? It isn't because the automakers wanted to add a bunch of road hugging weight, a big part of it is equipment required by the government. In spite of that extra weight and power the average new car gets much better gas mileage and requires less maintenance than the average new car in 1968. Jeff DeWitt That's right Jeff: Tell the bitch!

These would be great laws to start off with. Cars do *not* weigh more now. Billions have been spent to lighten cars as much as possible to meet CAFE standards Ben > I wish that more people would mind their own damn business.

Well, if you didn't notice though, they've since damned the Colorado Riiver. > I wish that cars had all less than 150 horsepowers, and they weiged > less than 3300 lbs.
