I disagree with modern cars looking better than classic cars. Modern cars maybe designed better, have better aero, etc. But they all look very similar. Low, round, narrow. Classics had character. But thats my opinion. you now have a stang, camaro and challenger. Everything else looks like an egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically this one: The first post in this thread answered my thoughts... You and I have similar car tastes I think. Viper has always been my #1 car I want to own. Old muscle does nothing for me. I do like old 40's/50's pickup trucks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted August 27, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 27, 2021 No interest in modern stuff. It all looks like variations of the same car. Gobs of HP and big G's on a skid pad...great...for what? So I can drive 30 mph around town and 65 on the highway? Amazing unusable tech. I like the old bodies from the 50's - 80's. But I do like an easy to drive vehicle with brakes and a decent push off the line. Resto Mod is the way to go. But then I've never liked cars, I'm all about the trucks. I need function with the form. Been debating what to do with my '78 Flareside F100. Considered a Crown Vic front clip with a 4.6 motor but I'm leaning towards lowering the front and rear with dream beams and a swap kit. Disc's for the rear 9 inch diff and a fuel injected small block mill, 302 or 351W, AOD trans. Stock interior and stock body. Easy driver, no carb to fuck with, and modern brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last few summer toys were a 2006 JCW MINI, a 2014 Fiesta ST and I just purchased a 1993 Dodge Daytona IROC R/T. Between my wive(s) lol and I, we've owned 4-5 Saabs, a couple Audis, a couple Mercedes ML V8s, a 79 TA 6.6, 05 GTO, Mini Clubman S, 16 BMW 750xdrive, and a bunch of stuff in between. RIght now I"m driving a fucking Ram 2500. I stopped buying new about 10 years ago, and now like to let someone else eat the depreciation for the first 1-2 years. My ex is rocking a Porsche Macan GTS thanks to my generous alimony, and that thing is pretty impressive, but I digress. The BMW sat 4 comfortably, had about 47 speakers, massaged my balls and would snap my head back with almost 450 horse and a 0-60 time of just over 4 seconds. I don't have alotta nostalgia for the old stuff, I had some of it, even bought it new, the new stuff is just too impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Great hobby and people. Absolutely nothing to do with performance and handling. Its a nostalgic thing not a road race. I have gotten to meet and become friends with some people I would of never met otherwise. A lot of crafty people out there, building some incredible cars. Its kind of a shame this is lost on the younger generation. Gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment, even if your skills are limited to cleaning and polishing your car. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
