which is the fastest car in the world?

Financially, horsepower by horse is probably cheaper than horsepower by car. As far as the issue of practicality, I will paraphrase my grandmother's story about her experiences with horses as transport:

does any one know where i can find some 17inch rims Cheap??


She said riding on a horse or in a carriage was very uncomfortable. You baked in the summer, froze in the winter and were forever being punished by the road surface - dirt, mud, snow or paving brick. The streets were strewn with horse waste that really stunk in the summer. Far from the image of noble creatures she thought horses were dangerous, ill tempered and stupid. Reliability? Grandma told about her family taking their carriage to church one time when the horse dropped dead right in the street.

Who loves their Volvo? Why?


So, I will defer to my grandmother's wisdom and say that the image of horses in literature and movies is probably more romantic than practical - whether now or in the past.
