It's a sad day when everything is electronically controlled, numb, and dull.

You get people buying silly 600hp SUVs and mega fast electric cars and bragging about how "fast" they are; yet they are literally doing 0 work to make it happen. The driver is NOT a part of the equation.

The best days of cars and motoring are behind us, sadly.

I have no desire for any cars on sale at the moment; instead I find myself looking at older cars from the 70s and 80s as aspirational.
100% agree but they're not completely dead yet. Now's the time to grab your 'dead man's' car to keep and enjoy until....well, you're dead. Even if it's a reach financially, it's our last chance (at least to buy new)
