this

i would rather die along with my car than have my car totaled, survive without a scratch, and deal with through-the-ceiling insurance and the other car being some licenseless, insuranceless dindu who ran off as soon as the bumper hit

>safety

who cares about safety but feggets

You're not a good driver if you get involved in an accident because you should always be able to either prevent it or avoid it

And if you're not a good driver you shouldn't drive anything else than a bike

If you want to find your limit aim for the nearest track not the tree line

>>16601674
People who want to pass on their genes?

Anyways, I'd like to see you try and squirm away from an oncoming vehicle while stopped at a red.

Half the people interested bought sportbikes

The other half keep buying and maintaining 80s cars

The rest that don't want to slaughter any nigger dumb enough to jaywalk with their evil red wedge or die in a crash moved on to other things.

Welcome to the free market. "Vote with your wallet!" doesn't seem so noble when 99% of wallet-holders disagree with you, huh?

Computers spit out design ideas for cars based on safety and aerodynamics.
They're all going to come up with the same answers, so many cars look similar.

I love its name though, the Mitsubishi Starion. I dunno if that story about it is true; that the name was gonna be the Stallion but due to due to a translation mess-up, the brochures were printed with Starion.

That Graham sharknose looks cool as fuck compared to the rest.

I'm not sure it's totally in scale, though; in person they're fucking monstrous cars.

They look so ugly. Especially the alfa romeo

>>16599897
that was the era where style died

the 80s killed it

every car was tasteless and had no thought put into the design

>>16601730
And they're all dramatically more expensive than the cars in the OP were new, even after being adjusted for inflation.

>b-but that's irrelevant to the point

Yes but I figured I'd focus on something new to be depressed about.

>>16601745

I drive an older car by choice.

I have plenty of disposable income, I won't buy a car that isn't comfy and most cars these days simply aren't comfy rides.

I had hopes for the new Continental, test drove it, it was shit.

Cars these days, man. They focus on getting you from point A to point B with a lot of electronics crammed into them, but very few are designed and built around the concept of you just hitting some back highways, letting the windows down, putting on some easy listening music, and moving at a slower pace and just enjoying the ride with no destination in particular.

I like a car that is a pleasure to drive and be driven in. Not because I have loads of entertainment options shoved into it, but the experience of riding, and talking with people in the car with me, or just cruising in silence with the smell of spring assaulting my nostrils and the feel of the road passing under my tires is pleasing.

No modern car offers that feeling. The old fast backs and sports cars didn't offer it either though. A big ass town car or Cadillac convertible, something along those lines? That's the ticket. Literally nothing made now fills that role.

Those Camaros were ugly as all hell

This is why I want to get an older car sometime in the future, I can't stand these modern jelly bean designs. I can see two cars side by side on the A14 and think they're the same car until I get close enough to see the badges. It's stupid. It's like they had shit jelly bean style moulds on sale somewhere and everyone in the motoring industry rushed out to buy them.

same here
worst of all are the cheep and unyielding seats and materials in use since the 2000s
not so long ago even the cheapest car had decent seats and plastic

>They focus on getting you from point A to point B.
I blame poor city planing for this, cars should not be doing the job of a bus or train.
its a bit annoying to see 100 five seat cars all headed to roughly the same place, with only one person in them.
not to mention the clusterfuck that parking has become in some places.

>with a lot of electronics crammed into them
mostly because of annoying to diagnose glitches and having to deal with poor ergonomics,
I do much prefer manual and tactile controls

but something else worries me more about the amount of electronics in car
the CAN bus and its connection to SHITTY infotainment systems could result in your car being hacked by whom ever is bothers to do so
I picture electric steering and braking under malevolent and remote control or the engine being disabled to strand you in an ambush

>Not because I have loads of entertainment options shoved into it
stock stereos are really bad now both in sound and ease of use
