Enough said. No "crazy driver behind the wheel" to blame in this test. So much for your theory that old cars would only have glass on the road

Enough said.

That's just silly.

We aren't talking apples and apples.

That's like saying "do a video of my motorcycle with helmeted rider vs your pedestrian on foot."

The pedestrian would live, of course.

Everyone where I live seems to be getting a Kia Soul, a Scion XB, or a Nissan Cube. They look like Kleenex boxes on wheels.

An older fella could easily tell the difference between one of those old bricks. To me, they pretty much all look the same.
Yeah, a 1960 Cadillac and a 1960 Lincoln look so much alike!

This thread is hilarious You have a good point though, I've owned three vehicles built in the 90s which lasted well over 200,000 miles each with minimal maintenance. Today's vehicles have many defects, even among brands which were once reliable.

They certainly don't FEEL like suppositories, all newer cars have those molded seats that are as hard as a park bench..

Yeah, I wish we had softer seats. My 2011 Honda Accord's leather seats are comfortable, but have nothing on my grandma's 1994 Lincoln Town Car's seats...

Yes, even modern "luxury" cars don't have soft, comfortable seats like this (pictured is a '74 or '75 Imperial).
