Cars that run on public roadways are appliances used for transport.

There are places where cars can exist to express the spirit of freedom 
and fuck-you attitude and go fast as hell and race, and do whatever with

And there are people known as "sociopaths" who will never be happy 
unless their freedom to go fast puts some non-consenting person in danger.
