I used to know a guy who raced — yes, raced — Duesenbergs. “That’s what it’s made for!”

Kinda like mailing a letter with an Inverted Jenny stamp.

Wow. That out-classics anything I've ever had. So everythime he raced it hard he probably peeled $5,000 of value off of his car.

I just got a 2022 Plugin Hybrid Volvo XC60. 460hp and over 550 ft\lbs of torque, 0-60 4.3 seconds, 13.5 second quarter mile. That's faster than most any musclecar from the 1960's maybe sans the 1968 Dodge Dart Hemi GTS. The thing gets 50mpg in hybrid mode. The good old days are not really the good old days when it comes to cars. Most anything pre 2000s is crap quality wise, with wheezing oil leaking engines, body gaps you could slip your hand in and cheap vinyl interiors. My Volvo pulls like a V-8 and offers leather heated seats a 600 watt stereo and about 20 other options and if the quality is like my last XC60, nothing but oil changes.

I did a pull the other night at 35 mph in power mode, left a 2015ish SS Camaro in the dust. The guy looked at me at the stoplight and smiled. Not your Mommy's SUV
