Are you aware that most modern cars now use "Throttle by Wire" where there is no throttle cable connected to the engine? There have been mishaps, but that's where we are anyway. I'll add that these systems can be hacked.

Yeah, but don’t forget, in this situation the speed control feature is already installed; just waiting to be turned on/off remotely when your subscription gets marked as paid/unpaid. Oh, right! The car mfr, the chip/computer module mfr, AND the subscription service operator ALL guarantee nothing will go wrong! “You Bet Your Life!” Groucho Marx.

So, what if you have pedal to the metal, car is moving at “maximum allowable” speed, and, for some unfathomable reason, aka computer glitch, your car suddenly accelerates to Autobahn speed? How many victims will you kill before you can get the damn thing under control?
After all, SNAFU (and Karma) are real.

Here's a cute bundle of hillbilly sayings

A lot of good wisdom there.

Why not? Hillbillies - and other varieties of country folk - might have been short on schooling, but long on common sense.

I was about to ask a similar question. My epson 1430 died and was looking at the Epson ET8550 or P700. I know they use different inks and achievability is different. I print mainly portraits on a Lustre paper similar to a type N commercial print paper.

I just started using my ET8500; So far, everything looks great.
I've printed just over 100 8-1/2 x 11s on Canon Luster paper (still have one
50-pack left) in the past week.
If it holds up like the Canon ip8720 I just passed on to my grand-daughter, it'll outlast me.
Hoping the ink usage lives up to the predictions.
