You didn't catch the edit of your post then.

Oh well, details, details.

American cars in the 60's and 70's were made for the open road.

Day trips going 80 down the highway with the radio blasting and not a care in the world.

Drag racing with friends and betting a few bucks, or beers.

Driving down to the gravel pit for a dip on a hot day.

Yeah, you're lucky they gave you stearing wheels atall, they should just've made the driving seat swivel so you could drive back without turning the car.

I had a great drive today, enjoying the first sunny day of the year, and here where the roads have curves, it is way cooler being able to duck, dive, and weave in between the traffic. I love my litle car, and i know that i will get my dream car....maybe in two years 🙂

right---
NOT:
inching down an alley way three centimeters wider than the car, which wasn't much bigger than a matchbox car to start with...
NOT:
having a turning radius capable of making a U-turn in such alleys
and
NOT:
turning the radio off to yell in jibberish that the guy with his hood popped and smoke billowing is a moron who doesn't know how to drive...

don't you love Europeans?

I like English people. Their cars are notorious for electrical problems. It is a car joke. It is the Irish I can't stand. (Just kidding I love the Irish.)

A Rolls is a good car. So I guess the Britts aren't all bad. I agree the Japanese cars are about the best. I own a Chrysler. 😞
