My brother had that model, and 83 zx and several 28O z cars. The 85’s battery would always go dead on him. It took him a while to realize it was because I would sneak into it and listen to his Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith cassette tapes in it. Batteries have limitations

That is a beautiful color on your z car.
The sound, it’s that sound!
My current and last three vehicles are manual, I do it more because you can get some great deals on them after they sit on the lot for a while. Also it makes them near theft-proof.

This guy needed to air down. Took balls to take a shiny new one up Dickey Bell. It’s a real mudderPucker
clt says ifs is great for the road, not so much for the trail.
The sound and the fury. This dude is a bad old man.
That sounds so great. The visceral experience is totally absent In EVs.

Thanks for that video. That reminds me of my old man so much. He had a 57 Ford he customized and it was a beast. He grew in the car culture of the 50s and 60s since sports were not his thing. My Mom said on their first date he pulled up to a stop sign with one of his friends and the next thing she knew they were drag racing down a 2 lane road at over a 100 MPH. I laughed and said well you did not ask to get out did ya?? After my Dad passed my Mom sold a 57 he had restored and my cousin tracked it down to a museum in Canada. Wish she had kept it but too many memories. Thanks again for the vid.

The connection between man and machine is certainly waning. With the new EV vehicles basically all being the same just with different skin and the days of working on a car were already fading it will be interesting to see where it takes the motor enthusiast. Changing software isn’t the same as installing a turbo or changing out the carbs or spending days trying to get a perfect exhaust note. I am curious how quickly that car culture will die and what the hobby that replaces it looks like.

What does ice cars mean professor?
Did you read how you can order pretend strap on’s to turn a pretend Tesla truck into a pretend seafaring hydrofoil?
Internal combustion engine. Not sure if you’re asking for real or rhetorically.
For real. I should have GTS
EVs are amazing vehicles, amazing performance and efficiency and will be a Great Leap Forward. The idea of not having to stop and get gas is awesome And my wife not going 3k past oil change time is great.
I just hate driving them personally they bring me very little joy - of course i love the noise and the sounds of a car and love tinkering and I love getting my hands dirty and love driving and the variety. Feeling the pistons moving or a turbo sucking in air or even changing the oil in a car. Top down engine roaring feelings a drive shaft spin. Its all so much fun.
More power to those that love EVs though, just not for me as long as I push in a clutch. When I am old and tired of driving and want to be able to just stomp on the gas and requiring little of my then slow reflex’s - that EV will be amazing.
