I still have and drive cars made in the 60’s and 70’s.
Trying to get a TR-3 or Jag from the 50’s again.

I have sports cars, 4x4’s, and an El Camino.

No cars of the sort I like are available today, certainly not from Honda!

Newer is not better, just has more accessories to fail and higher registration fee’s.
I have driven late model cars, I occasionally use rentals for business.
I despise them all, locking me in, “Warning me”, annoying digital dash, OBD computers recording my speed, seat-belt buzzers, BAH!
I much prefer to be the one in charge.

By my definition, there are NO sports cars made today.
NO, the Corvette is not a sports car, even the new Lotus and Ferrari are GT’s, not sports cars.

My brother had a Honda 600 Coupe back when they were new, the body cracked from vibration, the rear window fell off, and only the motorcycle shop that sold it would work on it.

The last year for a decent car was about 1969, before the Fed. got so heavy handed.
