Actually, the corners are all pretty rounded.
Hey, your Saturn is ten years newer than my truck.
Strictly speaking, no. There isn't any public roads in the UK where any fast car can really be used.
If we're willing to take the hit on tyre wear, fuel and the risk obviously, we can take cars on race tracks to stretch their legs.
Our speed limits are higher than yours though and as that car is faster than most on the road it's easy to feel like your going much faster than every body else.
That car has about a 2.6 litre engine and about 190bhp with a top speed limited to around 150mph. Not bad for 'off the forecourt' specs.
Why do American/Canadian cars seem to require huge capacity engines - 8 litres etc? It dosn't improve performance so why?

That Mazda is pretty feckin sweet. Sadly, Uncle Murphy will get involved and as soon as you are truly in love with it...... BAM some little kid on a three wheeler will scratch up the side like you wouldn't believe. Of course, it will be your own kid so you'll really get to punish him.
Now don't be too jealous here guys, but I have a 1995 grand am with 200k on it. Runs like total shit and it even smells bad. I'd post a picture, but who the hell would want to look at it..

A complete lack of advertising imagination combined with lazy engineers. We've been sold bigger is better forever. Car makers tend to use off the shelf parts when building a new model. It's way easier to produce low-end torque with size rather than innovation. As a result, we still put huge engines in things.
*sighs* I have a 1992 Ford Tempo which is about ready to die on me and my parents are going to be getting rid of it and i'll be car less
I ride a Suzuki DL650 V-Strom to work daily. We also have a 2005 Hyundai Tucson and a 1998 Pontiac Transport. I've always had a bike but it's nice being able to ride it year round and not have to put it away for winter.
Re: RE: What do you drive?
