Yet, it was more fun to drive in the 80's and early 90's than it is today. Based on my experience, this is because the car simply can't keep up with today's highway speeds and traffic volumes. So I bought a modern BMW to drive to work because it is a car capable of dealing with today's traffic. My older car fades away to weekend duty, so it isn't seen on the road as much.

I'd love to have a go in my first car again, would be like 'revisiting' an old flame all those years ago. Strangely familiar, very exciting but perhaps not quite as good as you remember it

I wrecked my first car. My behaviour with my first girlfriend was more gentlemanly.
