    Driving Skills (Old Car Advantage)

    I truly think those of us who learned how to drive and continue to drive our old muscle/street machines tend to have much better driving skills then those who do not. What do you think guys? I believe all the modern nuances have spoiled a lot of the new drivers in today's generation.

    Tradesmen Van/Truck

    Is it just me or is this kind of cool? I wish they would have kept up with the A-100's all the way through the 80's. Why did the auto industry in general go away from the van with a truck bed design? It would make perfect sense for a city delivery vehicle.
