I absolutely agree. My first overdrive was around 1984, and I wouldn't even consider owning a car without one since. I get a good laugh every weekend passing all the cars going to Island Dragway. 55mph, getting honked at, passed on both sides, and sounding like they are going to throw a rod. Honestly being a muscle car guy, I find it quite embarrassing. I fail to see the fun in driving a badass car that can't keep up with traffic.
