well, i must say it silent chamber, but you are an ass.
a total ass, and your head is stuck way up in that ass.

i dont race around on the streets like a madman, i dont drag race, and i rarely excede the speed limit by more that 5 mph.
thats not the point.
point is, the idea of a car was invented 200 years ago as a way to get around. first it was a horse drawn carraige, then a model A ford. now it is a S2000, or a miata, or a Exige, or a Lancer EVO, a toyota tercel for christs sake. thing is, as soon as the horse drawn carriage was invented, it became more than a simple mode of transportation. it served a social function as well. people were taking rides in the countryside, and going on trips to places that were completely out of their way, and un nessicary for them, except that it was enjoyable.
100 years ago, when henry ford brought cars to the masses, everybody could indulge in their little fantasy, and take rides to far off places that they had never been before. the automobile is as much a part of the american dream, as is the house in the suburbs, 2.3 kids, and a dog and two cats.
the automobile is a form of expression, a way to release tension, a way for the average man to, while behind the wheel, fulfill his dreams.

do you remember when you were a little kid, and you wanted to be a grownup so that you could drive?
you must remember.
you had hotwheels cars that you drove around on the floor of your room late at night. you had posters up on the wall of your favorite cars, and your favorite cars, no matter what they were, were faster than ANYBODY elses favorite cars. every teenager i know cant wait to be sixteen so that they can get their drivers liscence, and learn the finesse required to shift gears smoothly on the POS that will be their first car. you must remember the freedom that you felt the first time you drove all on your own.

this will all be lost if we go to an automatic GPS nav, driverless piece of CRAP.
cars will no longer be a form of expression, but a simple lifeless thing. an appliance if you will. chosing a car will be about as exciting as choosing your next washing machine, or garbage disposal. there will be no need for different makes, so the american car market will shrivel up and die. cars will be uniform and most likely made of japanese design in a poor country like korea, or ethiopia.

is this what you want?
is this how you want your kids to grow up?
what will kids play with late at night when their parents are asleep?
what noises will grown men make when the sounds of revving a cars engine are meaningless?

maybe i am a senile old shit that is sucking on his last cigarette before he dies, but it is a DAMN good cigarette, and ill be damned if i dont suck the very last bit of life out of it before i kick the dust.
