39. The "Good Old Days" For Cars Is Now.

Sat Apr 21, 2012, 10:39 PM

Apr 2012

New cars, including the Mustang are superior to the cars of old in every way. You can go to your local Ford dealer and buy a 400+ horsepower Mustang drive it off the lot and 2000 miles to a racetrack on the other side of the country, race it, and then drive it 2000 miles back home without ever doing anything but putting gas in it.

A 4,000 mile round trip in even the lowest horsepower Mustangs of the 60s and 70s would be an adventure best undertaken only by a very mechanically inclined driver.
