I wish I could get an older car...I am envious. I agree. I think the most hated feature is going to be dropped soon-the one that stops your engine when your car stops at a light or a sign.

Well, yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking :)
-————I regret selling my ‘69 Karmon Ghia-————
Oh, I bet it was. ... When it was time to buy my first car, the neighbor was selling his KG, a lovely, red convertible. Oh it was my dream and I lusted after it.
However, Momma had other ideas and I ended up with a ‘73 Dodge Swinger coupe, rusty orange with cream colored roof and interior, and I was bitterly disappointed.
However, Momma didn’t realize what she bought for me and neither did I, until I fell madly in love with every bit of that car.
I kept it for about 8 years until the engine seized. My first ex was a cheap SOB who said he’d done the oil himself but actually never did.
Live and learn.
Cheers!
Ha! My Sweetie was inadvertently the reason for my getting rid of my Ghia. He couldn’t bend enough to get into it. We had his truck & needed a drive-around car. So bye-bye Ghia. sigh...
If the younger generation is lazy it is the fault of the older generation.
