The ninth least powerful car for sale in the US has an engine that is larger than what the same model car in the rest of the world comes with. Interesting.

Whose laughing now!?...Well probably still them. But I don't even care.
When you have a nice retirement because you've made intelligent decisions re your money and they don't because they haven't...Who will be laughing at that point!
