And people were killed all the time in accidents. I agree all these computers on wheels really suck but you are so much safer today.

True that.

Actually,

I recently rode in a really nice '69 Camaro. Compared to todays vehicles it was noisy (full of various rattles/wind noise), uncomfortable and floats like a balloon at the higher speeds. Fast, strong acceleration, but watch those curves............

I remember Camaros being way too light in the ass end. You could peel rubber for a long ways, if you could keep it between the ditches.

Tell me about it, in the 62 Falcon Futura I once owned I installed seat belt (they were optional). Well one winter the salt tuck guy must have taken time to light a smoke and the hopper went empty. I hit that ice patch spun into the snowbank rolled the car over and came to rest on the driver's side. It was like emerging from a submarine getting out the passenger's door. Afterward I could not sit upright in the car because the roof was pushed in. Didn't get a scratch.
