I dunno.  He was intelligent enough for most of us to catch the joke. Maybe
you were tired.
The difference is that you actually are intentionally breaking the law
while he made a joke based on the want for a motor. He had no intention of
intentionally smashing his new car...  But I digress despite not really
caring. I suppose that's why flame wars are possible.  One person misses a
point and others like me (perhaps "Idiots" although we didn't miss the
point) allow ourselves to digress.  Laugh.
Peace dude.  Don't get busted driving w/o a license.
