Haha! Right! Especially when merging onto the highway. There's been so many times where they keep a constant speed ON the ramp and then when they're ON the highway (with cars 1/4 mile away behind or in front of them), then they accelerate. (sighs).
But really, I agree that most new cars are pretty powerful for what they are, especially when they will never use the full power of the car.
