    People with cars kill people. I heard the government is going to try and pass a bill to make it illegal to own fast cars.

    Yeah, I heard that one on Fox News also. Scary stuff - where do I send a check - Car and Driver, or maybe GM?

    They're even going to add an amendment that states it will be unlawful to modify any existing cars to increase their horsepower. And we all know, not only will law abiding citizens abide by the new laws, but also criminals, lunatics and back alley mechanics. We'll be a safer America! Now if we can just get them to reinstate prohibition, we'll conquer the DUI fatalities.

    any link to that amendment? I did see something about limiting the power of motorcycles, but nothing about cars.

    I made the whole thing up! I was just trying to lighten the mood. I didn't know there was actual talk of this! That's funny!! I was talking about gun laws without actually talking about gun laws.

    No offense meant to anyone by my comments btw, I like to joke around!

    No offense taken by me anyway. Part of good humor is there must be some element of truth or believably for it to work. I would not at all be surprised to see there was legislation to turn all cars into pedal power machines these days...

    Send the check to Porsche. Wife was to fly to Atlanta next week for a meeting with the head honcho's, they called and cancelled today. No reason given but I assume it has to do with somebody looking to vilify the car. Always someone elses fault isn't it ? Wait, mark my words, lawyers will get involved and Porsche will have a huge lawsuit on their hands to deal with.
