It was not your courage or dexterity that has kept you alive as long as this,.but the prudence and politeness of other motorists, You have been trading on your good will and sense of self-preservation, I wish it were possible to point out, to you that-your kind of driving is nothing but _ bad manners—it is not heroic or adventurous or iagnly, Suppose you ran down a crowded street, pushing people out of your way, knocking packages out of ladies’ hands and kicking children into the gutter, ‘What would * be heroic or manly about this? s Nothing, of course, Then why do you suppose having 2000 pounds of steel under you makes it any better?

What does that prove? Nothing except the car you bought is faster. You didn’t make it, it's a commercial product.
