In two of my last posts I talked about driving fast and a few precautionary steps to take if you are going to drive fast. Today’s post is an off-shoot of these and just a bit of a rant.

Imagine driving Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett's Porsche 911 C4 jamming to Metallica on the stereo he paid $20,000 for back in 1990. Kirk's car stereo was featured in one of the Car and Driver type magazines (I've not been able to track down the exact details and Kirk just doesn't remember.) This collectors dream is a direct descendent of the awe …
