It saddens me that post modern bitch males can't understand the joy of building cool things.
Or, it pisses them off that they have to spend 70k to get into a 10-11 second car while other guys can throw 10k at some old junker and acheive the same result. |

The '50s and '60s are the golden age of automotive Americana. That Malibu comes from the dark ages of the Malaise Days.

While the Ferarri/Lambo crowd doesnt get tickets for their stock loud as fuck exhausts they love to ticket the cheaper cars that obviously run aftermarket exhaust. My 2005 with H-pipe and straight through Borlas is pretty obnoxious on cold morning starts. Plenty of cars in my area run with offroad pipes. Plenty of people buy new cars and throw long tubes on them with a tune and run for the 5 year grace period with no smog is required on vehicles running twin turbos and the like. |

I remember when the older American cars were the kings of going fast (in a straight line) and at least they could brag about that vs. modern cars that were better at absolutely everything else. Now we have modern cars that are fast as fuck in a straight line as well as being vastly superior in every other objective measure and the guys who cling to these outdated cars are reduced to talking about "sound" and "feels." It's pathetic and it reminds me of when shitty ricers would brag about HP/liter because they didn't have anything worthwhile to brag about. But legit performance? New is the way to go. |
