Same goes for my son-in-law's '49 Ford coupe. It's sitting in my driveway and I need to move it often. No emergency brake, no windows except front windshield, no wipers... And a loose steering column. Pull the steering wheel towards you and it comes off. He manages to drive it somehow. Oh, it's a chopped roof so it would be hard to crawl out the window opening. But I'll take that car over these remote control things they're making.

I know my '65 Mustang Fastback is out of Skynet's reach, at least for the time being. It's safer than it used to be, too - I installed a collapsing type steering column with a rag joint and ditched the old "spear-o-matic" original. It has a dual-reservoir master cylinder and 4-wheel disk brakes now, as well as a 4-point roll cage with 3-point belts (as befitting its Shelby GT-350 homage paint job).

Subtle, it ain't - but I control every moving part.
