Well, I hate to offer unwanted admonition, but the car is ONLY fast
when you tromp the gas. To make it slow is to make the assumption that
your own judgement is not good enough to know when you can drive fast
and when you cannot. (Sounds like liberal politics to me, and YES, I
am keeping my .50 calibre rifle which I will use at appropriate times.
Meanwhile it remains in the attic, unloaded and separate from powder stores
and percussion caps.)

I submit that a few expensive traffic tickets might develop the required
sensitivity to those situations that might bring on involvement of law
enforcement agencies. If you want a slow car, get a Fiat 600, a 444
with original engine, or a 54 Chevy with auto tranny. Personally the
ability to jump out of a hazardous situation is of great value and I don't
plan to forfeit it just because I happen to have a lead foot. A lot of power,
properly used, is an excellent safety feature on the highway as well as in
town.
