There goes my car envy... damned government and all its needless regulations!

Let's Darwin take care of the bad drivers, not the safety measures!

I've often thought that a 6-inch sharpened steel spike mounted in the center of the steering wheel would quickly weed out inattentive, drunk, texting, and otherwise incompetent drivers...

Honestly, the sharp, barbed, poisonous spike in the middle of the steering wheel? a requirements for lawyers and politicians, an option for all other.
