Re: So?

Why drive a car that has a top speed of 120 mph or more when the speed limit is no where near that?

Re: So?

Actually, a better analogy would be why buy a car capable of 120 MPH if you can only drive it 100 miles/month? The answer is to be able to get somewhere faster for the few times that you need to instead of more times while driving slower. Buy a Prius for daily driving expecting to drive a lot of miles and save the Lamborghini for the once a month, show off to the ladies, drives.

Re: So?

It wasn't meant to be an analogy. It was only an example of limitations on things we buy that people have come to accept. Sometimes I think folks just need to get over it. It's fairly well known that you can't have your cake and eat it too.
