Reply to comment by Elvis_Pissley in TIL that the reason Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it 'macaroni' was because at one time macaroni was slang for something very fashionable or trendy by elephantsgraveyard

Stop trying to make ~~fetch~~ macaroni happen (again). It's not going to happen.

> I actually love that luxury brands like Benz and Mercedes are doing this. Continue to tax the people who have more money than sense.

Just wait until someone is in an accident and able to argue that it could have been avoided if they had been able to accelerate out of harms' way just a little faster.
