[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 303796, member: 1246"] Car Trivia...... On average there is about 3,000 feet of electrical wiring in every car.If you drove at 100mph for four years you would still not cover every stretch of road in the USA. Car airbags explode at 200 miles per hour. Since the 1970's microchips have doubled in power and halved in price. If the same thing happened to cars then a Rolls Royce would do 100,000 miles to the gallon and would only cost you £25 for a brand new one! British Petroleum makes a profit of £3,800.00 per second!
