OK, here's a pro-speed example for you: I was just reading
yesterdays paper, and I saw something about that one guy who died in
the little windstorm we had here in the Pacific Northwest Sunday. A
tree fell on his truck [obviously not a Dak ;)]. A policeman said it
was a freak accident- the tree just happened to fall where the guy
was driving "at a slow rate of speed". Obviously, if he'd been
driving faster, the tree would have missed him.
Flip
a tree would have to fall awfully fast to land on my Dak.
Also, there is a difference between a fast car and a quick
one. My
truck is quick, but its got the aerodynamics of a brick. Just about
any
car worth its salt should be able to take me on top end. (I don't
know
for sure as I have no interest in going fast.) I don't think going
from
0-60 in 4 seconds is any more dangerous than going 0-60 in 10
seconds.
You've built up the same momentum when you're done... If anything, I
feel safer in the quicker car, especially when it comes time to merge
into traffic...
