True, yet one of the sadder realities of US culture imo. Hopefully, we will develope more of a love for technology. Our youth seem to be doing so anyways.
I think it long past time to throw off the false machismo of fast, loud, and intimidating. Truth is, the roar of the IC engine belys the fact that it has no real power and a gearbox must be introduced to allow any kind of torque over time without shaking it into pieces.
I look forward to time that the US embraces the high pitched whine of technology as cool and not the belching scream of the IC engine.
Funny how it has come, in some ways, to define men in the US and therefore, what they value.
Sorry, the substance of the thread, capped by Namuna's comment, caused a bit of thought in me about future directions and how so much needs to change.
I will have to look into these cool little cars. I hadn't really paid any attentiion to them 'til now.
