RE: What's with all the weight
An automatic only takes one leg to drive.... and only one arm for that matter. I bet if we all cut off just one arm and one leg we could lighten the driver by 20%
I love the creature comforts of the modern car. The old muscle car was fun to drive for about a hour. Im looking forward to the first long drive... perhaps to Vegas, or up to Washington. I could have done without the sunroof, but in California its better to have one then not.
