I like this one, Chris.

As for old American cars; yes, they are overlarge and floaty but that didn't 
matter in America before the 70's, for the most part. Wide open spaces with 
a lot of straight but rather lumpy roads and cheap gas. One 'floated' right 
over everything, and when it came time to change direction one had a lot of 
warning. High speeds except for drag racing weren't allowed nor reasonable. 
Style was important.

My personal preference was also always for a smaller, more nimble and better 
handling car. To counter that, my first new car was a Beetle. At least it 
was practical.
