Just a fun read
What ever happened to America's love affair with cars? Has been touched on here, but this guy's writing reminds me of P.J. O'Rourke style.

from the piece:
What happened? How did an entire generation — OK, two guys — lose their love of that quintessential American desire to get in, floor it, barrel down the freeway with the radio loud, hit a concrete post and have the steering column spear you in the sternum like a plastic sword piercing a cocktail olive?
