Default Your Government Helping You

Well, my government is always trying to help me:

The window sticker on my S2000 read "CITY MPG 20 HIGHWAY MPG 26".

It went on:

"FOR COMPARISON SHOPPING, all vehicles classified as TWO SEATER have been issued mileage ratings ranging from 8 to 61 mpg city and 13 to 68 mpg highway".

Two seaters, huh? For comparison shopping?

The two seater which gets 8 city and 13 highway is a Ferrari 550 Maranello. The two seater which gets 61 city and 68 highway is a Honda Insight. Two cars which clearly compare to the S2000!

I can see it now:

"Well, I could buy a Maranello, or an Insight. Which should I get? Let's see, the Ferrari goes for $200,000, and the Honda's $20,000. Tough choice! They both come in red, so that doesn't help. I'VE GOT IT! I'LL COMPARE THE GAS MILEAGE!"

LOL


Isn't it great how the government tries to help you? It just amazes me...

BTW, go for both the 550 Maranello and the Insight. Why deny yourself?!

Have you heard that 550's v-12 open up? Man, it's freaking music...!
