We soft Americans talk pretty big about hoonage and crazy driving in general, but how about the folks in India who drive Hindustan Motors Ambassadors (which are basically mid-50s Morris Oxfords) every day on brain-rattling roads choked with swerving buses, wrong-way drivers, herds of cows, bicyclists, etc? How many of us would be willing to pass a semi uphill on a crowded road in a tin-can Morris clone with 40 horsepower on tap? These guys are, and they don't even blink an eye while doing it. – Murilee Martin
