Oh yeah. This is fantasy driving we're talking about, not the real thing.

i didn't drive much from the early 1980s until recently - I didn't even have a license from 1987-97. Now that I'm driving again, I've been impressed by how much more traffic there is - everywhere, even in a little burg like Gloucester, Mass. - and how much ruder drivers are. It's a long way from taking that phantasmic Porsche up to 120.
