Two Polish 70s rally legends: factory spec Fiat 125p Monte Carlo (with a twin cam 1600cc engine) replica and Andrzej Jaroszewicz:

I find it wonderful how... imprefect the car is. You can see it and hear it. A lot of work has gone into that car to make it as close to original as possible: it could not be too good. Also, I think this shows that the argument about muscle cars having shit handling can be put to rest: EVERYTHING had shit handling back then, mainly due to tires.

#1401, It's actually pretty amazing how far tires have progressed....arguably more than any other vehicle component. I was reading in a magazine (Mopar Action, I believe it was) a few years back, and they did a 0-60 test on a 1968 Dodge Charger Hemi, which ran 6.5 seconds on factory-style bias-plies. They then put modern street radials on it, and that time dropped to 4.8 seconds. It's all in the traction....

1970s-vintage police pursuit instruction video narrated by Jack Webb. Corny, but it has some good driving tips, and lots of Dodge Polara hoonage (plus some performance from a '65-'66 Mustang fastback and a '71 'Cuda).

#1405, This is actually very good. Covers all of the most important aspects, situational awarness, weight transfer, and the importance of seat time/practice: no matter how many books you read or videos you watch you will *not* be ready for what happens near, at and past the limit of adhesion. Also, it's clear and concise: something like this should be shown at all driver's ed classes. I cannot stress how appaled I am at the way driver education is handled in Poland, and the further east you go... just watch any russian dash cam compilation and count how many times they don't pay attention, speed, run red lights and loose control of their cars in the most mindfuckingnumbing seemingly impossible ways (do they have hydraulic e-brakes installed and just randomly pull on them???).

#1407, Yeah, just not giving a fuck, like they are the only car in the world. How *do* they get their licenses? A separate breed are expensive cars and SUVs just trying to barge others off the road. I wonder how many times someone got shot after hitting one of them.

#1410, Pure sex. There was a short period of my life when I could afford to just take a car for a drive for the hell of it and had a car that actually I enjoyed enough to do so. I hope I will be able to do that again some time on the future.
Language question: can you say 'I had fascination ON sth' not 'WITH sth', like he does?
#1409, Shame about the quality :(

I still drive for fun here and there. I drove the Granada to my high school town about 30 miles away a couple of weeks ago, for the hell of it.

The fucked up situation over here means that if you have a shit job (like I do right now) a single fill up can take 1/5th of your month's wages. This is slightly offset by the fact I mostly drive on autogas. Still, because of my psychosis I'd probably spend the last penny on a rally or on blasting up and down twisting country lanes at 70mph. It's soul crushing to be a car person and not being able to afford it, especially when you have a car that you like that has some minor problems that you KNOW will get worse unless you fix them... but you can't since you are broke. <:(
