And I really didn't mean to discount the advancements of the last hundred years... OUR CARS KINDA KICK ASS.

yep - turbos aren't necessarily a bad idea... but they are just one more piece of possible component failure... I feel like cars have become like mexican food... you pick the presentation and configuration of the parts... but they're all basically the same components arranged in a different way. [DRASTIC over-simplification... I admit]

But part of me does feel that we are starting to stagnate. There are probably hundreds of engineers who would like to push me in the neck for the ingratitude.
