Good question Al. I got an even better question:

Does ANY country or even any group of countries have a high speed hiway system that would even come to within 50% of the US Interstate hiway system in terms of number of miles and country wide access of such a hiway system????

4 cyclinder engines are just fine for 3rd world counties that resemble the WHiskey Hell area here. I have a 4 cylinder in my farm tractor and the ranch truck for poking along the local pig paths and cow trails here of Whiskey Hell. But when i need to drive 200-800 miles in a days time on I40 or I75 or I80 i wouldn't have any 4 cylinder puddle jumping POS shouved up my royal white American ass (as dumb as it mite be).


Believe it or not Canada is actually larger than the US and we have paved roads and everything. You are welcome to bring your white American ass up here and go for a drive on the 401 hiway but be prepared to cruise at 80MPH or be passed by every 4 cylinder car on the road.

They have things called Autobahns in Germany that were built 20 years before the interstate hiway system. In fact that is where President Eisenhower got the idea. They have no speed limits and if you only go 80 the 4 cylinder economy cars will leave you for dead.
