Any colour but white!

I thought I would take a break from writing up essays to talk about Cars. Which at this point a lot of people will go to sleep. But for me cars are something of a hobby, I don't really know how they work and my level or automotive excellence is at the level where I can change a tyre and fill up my washer bottle.

Which lets be honest is the level to which most people are up to. But I still love them, I mean before I was a student I would happily pay 60% of my pay check on my car in some way or another. My current car is an Fiesta ST-2 which according to Top Gear means I should be Prime Minister.

I can wait till I am over 25 and the cost of insurance is something I never have to worry about, and picking cars becomes much more simple. I do find it funny why people pick the cars they drive, the obvious reason is finace, I mean not every one can go around in a BMW M3 but why would you buy a Suzuki Alto, when you can buy a cent second hand golf. 

Can manufactures have taken the fun out of cars, there are a few exceptions, but most cars are just built for people who own fleeces. For instance you want a buy a Seat Leon, a fun car based on a golf, you would think that it comes with a nice meaty engine that is made for the mountain roads of Spain (my geography of Spain is a little crap), but the base engine is a 1.2 petrol which is as about as powerful as the Green Party.

No one cares what they are driving anymore because cost has become the main driving force is deciding what car you get, I want a car which will sound amazing, give you butterflys every time you press the throttle. I want cars to be greener, I want them to be safer. But I should not have to give up the great thrill of driving. Companies like Tesla are doing that but companies like Nissan who created the Leaf are cheating and taking the fun out of driving.

Anyway back to the theocracy of Iran.
