“”One of my brothers just bought a new BMW 7 Series. The first time I drove it, I felt like I could total it at 100 MPH and walk away without a scratch. I swear that 7 Series at 100 MPH on the interstate makes you feel as if you are going about 40. It is so smooth and stable at high speeds. “”
One of my breakthroughs on this car stuff was when I bought a 1973 maverick in 1990 that had a cassette player installed, I had never owned one.
In the late 1990s my female friend had a house in Big Bear, I traveled up there from San Diego several times and thought that it was a long but worthwhile drive.
When she bought a new Lexus, I drove up there at 90 miles an hour (fighting to keep the speed down), then we kept driving around for another 1 and 1/2 hours (the first time) because the ride was not distracting from our conversation at all.
As I payed attention to that car, with soundproofing and other advances that I didn’t know were out there, I started to pay attention to the growth in automobiles.
Now when I watch a movie with the 1960 pickup truck in it, I’m just not so sure anymore.
