Message	To me, the personification of this American obsession with "individuality" is cars, and toilet paper. Next time you're in a grocery store, look at all the different brands of toilet paper, and then ask yourself, "How many different choices do we really need to wipe our asses?!" "Straight-line acceleration is probably the first aspect of automotive performance that any intelligent driver gets bored with." Peter Gregg "We owe a lot to the dragsters. They always break something, figure out a way to beef up the part and the benefit trickles down." Robo "Not everything that can be counted counts. Not everything that counts can be counted." Einstein "And now my friend, the first-a rule of Italian driving, [Franco rips off his rear-view mirror and throws it out of the car] what's-a behind me is not important." Raul Julia, playing Franco Bertollini while driving a Ferrari Daytona in the movie Gumball Rally
