I think we all do. I hope.

I drive it, even in winter. I don’t keep it in an air conditioned garage, covered in polish and wax, and gently ticked with cashmere brushes and kakapo feathers once a week, or whatever other bullshit that collectors are always telling me ought to be done. I ruin my car by treating it like a car, it transports me and…

Most important part? Actually driving it.

Nebraska.

Not a long road trip. But I rode with a friend down to another friends college graduation party. It as about 2 hours away. She drove like a total maniac. A few times I was getting nauseous. The icing on the cake was when a CD (this was like 2005) was skipping bad and she decided to take it out and bend it until it…

I’d have said stick to Illinois, Goddamn FIBs, but I take your point.

Habitually driving ten miles below the limit is just as bad as habitually driving ten miles over it. Stop it.

The radio station in your car is unchanged after a visit to them.

Well, look on the bright side: better to be worrying about speed cameras than sitting in traffic that makes their presence moot. 

When I saw “almost three hundred miles” I thought “ah, not that bad, probably out West, so 4-5 hours.” Then I saw “Austin Maestro,” and now I’m realizing, are those UK miles? If so, that’s a LONG trip!

One of my cars still has a cassette player!

TVR never made a bad car. Insanely dangerous cars, yes. Often unreliable and bizarre cars, supercheck, but bad? Nah. TVR made TVR cars, and they were all awesome... if you survived the drive.

Saab.  Sure, some were better than others.  Some were more Saab-like than others.  But none of them were bad.

A third or fourth gen El Camino. You’ll always be doing something on it, but you’ll always want to drive it too.

The 360 degree top view cameras are best. I regret not getting that when I was custom ordering my BMW F31 wagon. 

Subaru’s rear camera has an active placement marker. It actively maps your curve. It’s a game changer for backing into tight spots. The front camera has hash marks that at least show where the edges of the car are.

CD Player.

And Honda Jazzes

Harley Davidson bikes. I so seldom see anyone under sixty buying one of those anymore.

I miss my Vauxhall Chevette,
