God that is funny. I have not driven anything newer than my old 74 Roadster but every video I see is that they get way behind in the steering. Good thing they do not try that with the old 14-1 VR boxes as they would be in a world of hurt.[LOL]

A few years ago I toured the manufacturing plant and visited the museum.

The demographics of the folks on the tour were old guys*. I fit right in. :)
