True. There would be no GT Mustang without the v6. Although, now the v6 stang and camaro are fun cars to drive with decent power. Still...

Kind of an off-topic rant, but I think people operating vehicles over 6000 lb GVW should have to have a special license + training. That's heavy enough for you to get in serious trouble and endanger lives if you don't know what you're doing.

So basically any truck, SUV, or very heavy car/crossover = special license + training.

I think that all licenses should require re-testing every so often. And I mean everything: written, driving tests, supervised excursion. It should happen.

I vote for a real rant, preferably involving eugenics and euthanasia of imbeciles.

Problem is, we live in a politically correct society and people start yelling at you as though you're the next hitler every time you mention something that excludes people who are less intelligent or less enabled.
