Just think of how much fun one of those cars would be at 996 weight/size and the current horsepower ratings! Besides cars like that would quickly weed out the driving skill challenged owners.

It's all the extra equipment to turn the evil ICE by products into fairy farts.

And all the safety equipment.

And all the distractions that people demand that will require them to need all the safety equipment.

And they need extra space for the continually expanding average American ass (mine has unfortunately expanded quite a bit since buying the 996 :().
Don't you have such a car? We can't help it if you are too scared to drive in non absolutely perfect weather :P

I believe there is a binding clause in your work contract with him that states that if you screw with the Solution you consent to be used as a prop for his up coming video series "32 modes of making idiots suffer" :lol:

Oh Jake is way beyond 32 modes to make idiots suffer as he deals with a lot of idiots. Some modes are quite innovative.

Yes, you do NOT want to be referred to the remedial program. I understand that 61 modes of failure for the human centipede development program have been identified and rectumfied.

If you mess with the Solution, you are not added to the front.
