You can drive all manner of technologically enhanced 4s and 6s and but nothing can match that sensation of 8 angry cylinders demanding a heavy foot from its driver. It's a motor that just seems p1ssed off when idling... grumbling and gurgling and wobbling about at the lights! But when those 8 cylinders come into harmony under strong acceleration... ah, bliss!
Baggers there are some videos online of it (the US version), sounds amazing.

A mate of mine has a 60's (forget which year) mustang that he tinkers with. You know when he's coming or going, and looks amazing.

Is there a sexier looking car?
Lucky enough to go for a cruise in the Adelaide Hills in one that was fully restored and ooooh the noise. O:-)
The interior was superb and the cigarette lighter was labeled 'Cigar'. Just classic.
Dream Car.

I love the old GT350H (ex Hertz rentals) fastback. Rare as hens teeth, there is one for sale nudging $500K.

If its not creating sneaky software trying to defeat emission testers then its little java monkeys in a VW beetle, I'll let you google that story....cartoons and all.

A kids life isnt worth $150....?.....Corporate Policy?........WTF.......
I couldnt buy a car off VW , I know they have their fans including my own family members but they wont be getting my money ever..
I feel the same way about VW EB. Last one I owned was a Beetle 1500 back in the 70s. Was not sorry to see that go and the emmissions scandal was the final straw, ensuring I will never buy VW again. What do you think of the Lexus UX?
Reality always wins in the end.
