It isn't all about the commute. There's also towing, high mountain passes, and plain fun to consider. It's amazing how gutless my old 140hp/150lb-ft wagon was

  The plain fun aspect isn't a reason to keep the human driven automobile around as a legal activity on public roads. We segregate fun from business and competition for a number of activities. We don't go hunting with fully automatic weapons, why do people get to engage in fun with ridiculously overpowered vehicles when I'm in a more practical commuting vehicle right next to them driving to work?

    I didn't say anything like that. Only that "fun" is one of the reasons for more than the absolute bare minimum of engine power.

    > why do people get to engage in fun with ridiculously overpowered vehicles when I'm in a more practical commuting vehicle right next to them driving to work? Why do people get to tell me what I can and can't drive? Lots of people manage to drive safely on public roads with cars far far more powerful than they technically need. > We don't go hunting with fully automatic weapons Then you're clearly not having as much fun as you could be ;)
