Outside my window right now is someone in a non-hybrid proving... something. They're accellerating to top speed then slamming on the brakes as they come to a speed bump, then doing the same to the next, and the next... then turning around and doing it again.

So obviously, my apartment complex has a lot of speed bumps. Speed bumps my car endures every time I leave or come back. But speed bumps that also happen to be terrible for mileage - good luck pulsing and gliding over these. And regenerative braking ceases to work at low speeds - speeds low enough to, for example, navigate speed bumps.

I might be fine with speed bumps if they kept morons off the street behind my apartment, but as they say, "They built a better idiot." Enough with the speed bumps, they're in the way with no benefit.

Anyone else with me on this one?
