All power steering corrupts, but satellite radio and flat screen TV with surround-sound in the rear balcony corrupt absolutely. The sheer size and vulgar luxury of American cars is a successful, and mainly ridiculous attempt to make driving a car the same as driving a living room. A seven ton Humvee generally hauls a full load of 2 Big Macs with cheese, fries, an empty 24 oz can of "Red Bull" plus a lonely, pissed-off redneck. In Rome, a car is not much more than two pistons and three, 16" wheels under the person who drives it, plus a sack of groceries. They save money and do just fine. Americans now think it's ghetto to hit to the Circle K for BBQ potato chips in anything but an SUV battle-wagon that seats 12 and smells like burnt pot roast. I envy you my friend.....
