Does faster always correlate with speed? No, we know that and you know that. What you need is the freedom of the wind rolling past your frame making wooshing noises. You just want to FEEL fast. Actually going fast can be dangerous. And the PT Cruiser driver with their eternal enlightenment knows this.
At the midpoint of safety and moderate speeds, comes your vehicle. And you can even add bumper stickers affirming this. Stripes, political beliefs, whatever you want. As the acceleration hits from 0 to 60 in eleven seconds, you can experience the joy few people can indulge in.
You close your eyes for a second, you’re in a McClaren. But when you open them back up, reality is even better. You’re still in your PT Cruiser. HURRAH!
