Something about people wanting a faster horse.
- throwmea56 9y agoThey didn't. And, as a car obsessive, it was a mistake. commute times are probably the same (45 minutes walking/tram with a 4~5 mi dense city core, vs 45 in the freeway and a 60 miles of low suburban development) and we don't have the infrastructure for alternatives to travel outside the city. As to the need for speed itself. I used to like big fancy fast cars. Then I got a motorcycle. Now cars are... boring.
