Is it just me, or are people just not appreciative of older cars anymore? Whenever people see a bug, it seems like they feel the need to cut you off and speed away, proving how much faster their car is than yours. Or, "becuase it's an old car, it can't be going THAT fast," and they pull out right in front of you becuase they think they can accelerate in time. People treat the drivers of old cars like crap. They can't understand that you have to go slower sometimes, and that you can't accelerate as fast as they can. They get so irritated over it, and floor it and fly around you, endangering themselves and everybody else on the road. I mean, what the hell? Why is everybody in such a hurry all the time? Is it just becuase my rear fenders don't match right now?
Geez. I'm just annoyed at traffic these days. Cars are getting too powerful for our own good. Thirty years ago, a GOOD 0-60 time was 8-9 seconds. That's only barely acceptable acceleration for today's smallest cars. GOOD 0-60 times today are in the range of 4-6 seconds. I pain to imagine what it will be like 30 years from now, if, given emmissions standards, we are still able to drive these wonderful little cars. We will all NEED at least a 1776cc to not get smashed!
