You all crack me up with your definitions of gay-cars and man-cars, because if you went to Europe, you would discover mini-cars that do not even exist here, such as the Audi A3, the Renault Twingo, Peugeot 106, WW polo, and the list goes on and on. Those are usually women`s cars, and the big machos have VW GTI, VW Jetta, Audi A4, BmW 3 series, etc... So this is just to say that everything is relative in this world, and everything is bigger in the US. And slower too...Boy, I wish I had my 911 when was still living in France. Here, it is a constant frustration to drive, and everytime I open up a little bit on the parkway, my adrenaline goes up not because of the acceleration, but because of the awareness that every second of pleasure can cost me a lot in speeding ticket ! But I am not complaining, I love this country. In France, I would never have been able to afford a 911, and even if I had one, the gas would have cost a lot (around $4/gallon). And this is why they have these mini-cars !
