Comment on If I got in a collision with a car from the 70s with a car today, would not the 70s car win out since it would primarily be metal? If so why don't people buy more 70's cars?

  The sad thing is how good some of those family cars that were so god damn pedestrian 20 years ago are now.

  I drove one of the v6 Camrys with the 8 speed… 300hp and half a second faster over the quarter than the gt86… Sure its not manual.and isnt rwd but for a daily… it fucking slapped. “iT cAnT dRiFt” yeah I’m a 40yo man with two kids seats in the back, I’m not trying to tackle Mt Akina.

    Takes a lot of dead dinosaurs to ride in supreme comfort. I was a valet (parker not rich guy dresser) for a few years and the land yachts were the most comfortable to drive and ride in by far. I would see cars that looked more comfortable but they usually had separate drivers.
