More and More

More and More was the title track off Joe's famous album "And then". I thought i was Joe's biggest fan till i met my course mate and eventual room mate in the person of SAHIB. I Loved Joe, i still do. My greatest regret was not being to attend any of his shows when he came to Nigeria. If you listen to the Song "More and More" you will get a sense that enough was just about sufficient but Joe wanted an over the top sexual experience.

For several years i have touted the Germans as being the best at making cars. The Bugatti Veyron super sport which is at heart a German car was the fastest production car till it was upstaged by some drunk car manufacturer in the form Hennessey venom GT. The excess speed comes from pumped off versions of the original cars packing extra horses.

This extra horse power madness has been dragged right across the street to 4 door saloon cars. Let me put some perspective to this, the Toyota Camry 2007 model 4 cylinder engine has 158hp. For most of you out there, you will never clock out the maximum speed limit. The cars i shall list below, pack as much as 4 times the amount of power present in the Camry. Do they sit as many as 4 times the number of occupants or have 4 times more doors? The rhetorical response to that is NO.

10. Jaguar XFR-S - 550 HP

9. Cadillac CTS-V - 556 HP

8. BMW M5 / M6 Gran Coupe - 560 HP

7. Audi RS7 - 560 HP

6. Porsche Panamera Turbo S - 570 HP

         

5. Mercedes-Benz E63, S63, CLS63 AMG - 577 HP

4. Rolls-Royce Ghost V-Specification - 593 HP

3. Bentley Continental Flying Spur - 616 HP

2. Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG - 621 HP

1. 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat: 707 hp

As you can rightly guess my anger stems from 2 successive defeats to the Germans coming from the American camp. it feels like WWII all over again.
Other than winning wars, the Americans aren't really good at any thing else. They're especially terrible at building cars. But when they upstage the Germans in 2 successive battles in less than 2 years, it could only mean one of two things: they've built utterly rubbish cars or they have managed to do the unthinkable, build exceptionally brilliant cars!!!!
