I used to drive an MG Midget, the last generation model with 1500cc engine, daily for fun. It had an after-market carberetor, from Italy, a popular replacement for the lousy English carb. Also a sport (loud) exhaust. It was a very light car in spite of being loaded down with both luxuries: a heater and an AM/FM cassette stereo. I logged over 40k miles in it, for fun. Crossed 16 states + Ontario, from Miami to Toronto and back, for fun. So what did it prove, that I'm better than someone who drives a Cayenne? No, it proved I was stupid and lucky, and with a shameful disregard for my own life and the lives of my passengers.
