Renboy Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 My biggest problem is the fact that car companies can build cars without any restriction to weight. Cars would be a lot safer if they weighed half as much as they do now. Not only would handling improve drastically, but braking and acceleration would not only improve, but their components would resist failure. Stopping and starting a 3500lbs fat bitch barge takes a lot more energy than an 1800lbs model. Not to mention when two 3500lbs land barges run into each other head on, that's a lot more momentum that needs to stop than two 1800lbs cars going the same speed. Finally, teach people how to drive, and have semi-annual testing. An F1 car in the hands of a female asian is nothing more than scrap after a short period of time.
