i think its sad how modern cars get such terrible gas mileage. back in college my daily driver was a 1986 mustang gt 5.0
it gets better gas mileage than today's toyota camry. i mean it doesn't now (still have it 11 years later) because it has about 700hp, but anyway...
these cars today are so damn heavy with 6 airbags, emissions out the butt, 5 star crash blah blah, but that all just ads up to a poor handling heavy car that you now can not avoid the accident with because you cant' stop in time, and can't drive around because the car is so heavy.
I love that. I never thought a camary would ever approach the weight of my old 20ft long 64 Ford Galaxy. I mean you could land an Tomcat on the hood of that car too.
