Did you used to have a car dealership, or do you just go through a lot of
cars? My folks think the eight I've owned is a pretty high total.

Let's not. My various experiences with small cars make my total horsepower
rather small.
Oh, what the hell...
'74 Pinto - 80 (?) hp (it was the 2.0L four if anyone knows different)
'81 Accord - 72 hp
'80 Cutlass - 105 hp (from a 4.2L V8; pathetic, ain't it?)
'85 Sprint - 48 hp (pathetic all around)
'73 Celica - 97 (?) hp (18R-C engine)
'82 Audi Coupe - 100 hp
'85 300ZX - 160 hp
'91 Miata - 116 hp
So, if the above is correct, my lifetime hp (excluding my 3-wheelers and the
lawnmowers) is 778, or 97.25 hp per car. Pretty sad that my 116hp Miata is
above average for me power-wise...
I hope Santa sends me a turbocharger for Christmas! ;) (Don't laugh, there's
turbo Miatas making 270hp at the rear wheels.)
