No more Zoom Zoom Zoom???

According to this article, the FTC and Congress may stop Mazda and other car companys from advertising "fast" cars. Sounds like a bunch of BS to me!

It's just an opinion column...unless there's an outcry for the government to censor ads, it's doubtful that anything will change.

What did you say in your letter?

FYI, I got the link to that article from this article on yahoo...
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/fc/US/Highway_Safety

Yahoo article states that people talking on cell phones while driving are more dangerous than drunk drivers. Maybe in the future you may go to jail for DWTOYC (Driving While Talking On Your Cellphone) LOL

Well, I just wrote a letter to the editor, gave them my name and address, and told them to publish it. Keep your eyes out to see if they actually post my response to that ridiculous article.
