I blame the car manufacturers for so many car accidents. The commercials intice people to drive fast and making cars that fast is just retarded.

If you want to race they should have a seperate line of cars for racers and a line for average consumers. A 90 horse power car is plenty of power for you to drive up to 75 mph.
If you car is a 4 banger with less than 150hp you going to have a hard time accelerating going up fast hills. My truck has 345hp, its nice to be able to accelerate and not sit there flooring the gas peddle trying to get going
