You haven't driven til you've tried a pre war car, very different animal.

Pre which war?

It's funny - I've never driven a properly pre-war car in the sense one might typically mean here. I've driven a Model T from the 20s, but it's technologically a 1908 car (1923 swap to metal firewall notwithstanding). Pre-Great War, yes; pre-WWII in the usual style, no.

I guess in the car world they generally mean WWII. I suppose Pre WWI is getting into antique vehicles.

Those are difficult, I had a ride in one and it wasn't what I want to drive on a regular basis!

I'm sure driving then was an all five senses experience.

Below 10mph or so, they're much as any tractor with a stick-controlled throttle, and very manageable. The difficulty is in a quick stop (awkward braking) or release of throttle - something very much improved by the standard control scheme...

Yeah, you can't sip a coffee, listen to the radio and stop paying attention! You are all in or you might regret it.

I really want to! First I have to pull a million dollars out my ass! Honestly though the 30s were arguably the best decade for motoring ever
