RANT: Why do I bother with old cars ??

[zygoteer]

New(er) cars are too impersonal and are engineered to 'divorce' you from road-reality, by de-skilling the driving.

Mid-range modern saloons from Ford, VW, Audi, Skoda, Toyota, Mazda and many many more are so similar and boring, that I can't be bothered to make a definitive list.

Yep, thats the essence of the argument against newer cars. Too business like , formal, no character, no soul, pretty much faceless!.

I guess most enthusiasts wanted to portray a certain style that their car, says similarly about them and their tastes. To me driving enjoyment is what my BMW gives me. It challenges, cajoles, intimidate, sometimes flaunts its power!. Thats the fun, it gives and no Audi can match RS or quattro.
