Kind of cool.
Point a to point b isn't always in walking distance.

North Americans really need to get over this whole more horsepower thing. It is not the be all and end all of transportantion. If I am driving from the suburbs to downtown on a traffic filled highway, do I really need more power?

Sure it's fun to go fast and all that... but I'd rather have fuel efficiency.
