Re: 16v vs 8v

This is the number one pain of having to share the road with 
everyone else.  I am rarely as worried about my own driving
as I am about all of the other idiots out there.  Joyriders, people 
who refuse to signal, left turn from right laners, and slow pokes
all fall into the idiot category.  Seems no one has any consideration
for the other drivers on the road.  Even if you never lose big on
taking these chances, someone will if you keep it up.  Should you
survive and be maimed for life, I for one will laugh at you.  You get
what you deserve.  Do what you want to with your life, but stay away 
from ours.
