Horsepower as safety feature (was Making ALL Roads Into TOLL Roads)
[irrelevant newsgroups trimmed]
begin quote from Alex Rodriguez in >: > Too bad.**Horsepower*is*a*safety*feature.**It*just*tak es*some*driver > education to learn how to use it as such. Along the same vein, one of the scariest moments I've had driving was when I was accelerating to get on a freeway (I-10 in Houston), get to the end of the on-ramp, and suddenly I'm getting no acceleration with the gas pedal on the floor. After a few seconds that seemed like eternity, I did get acceleration again (and thankfully didn't get rear-ended in the meantime, I was up to maybe 40-45 and the limit was 60). -- Shawn K. Quinn |
