1. Rear wheel drive in non-luxury cars.
2. Modestly-stressed, torque-oriented V8 in passenger cars.
3. Bench seats.
4. Basic, no-fuss radios.
5. The coupe (why do nearly all passenger cars these days have 4 doors?).
6. Gas filler cap behind license plate.
7. Moderately-sized wheels that don't require $300 tires.
8. Voluminous engine compartments, with plenty of access to spark plugs and accessory belts.
9. Manually-adjustable seats and mirrors, in cars other than econoboxes.
10. Manual steering (no electric or hydraulic power-assist).
in these times of hi-tech components, multiple cams and higher hp/efficiency, i long for the days of old when one could hear a car's lopey idle at rest.... shaking at rest.... and just knew it had some serious cojones under the hood. That sound still turns my head every time. Now wouldnt it be nice to be able to have that as an option on the order sheet when buying a new car?

1. Poor handling,
2. Pathetic cornering ability,
3. Eight track tapes and matches to wedge into the opening so that the tape will play,
4. Door and window handles that can be replaced with Vise grips,
5. Totally unresponsive steering,
7. Moderately-sized wheels that don't require $300 tires.
There are some nice 17s and 18s out there, but the cost is much better on smaller sizes. I've got an 80s Fox body that I'd like to get some later model Mustang wheels for, but not looking forward to tire purchase.
