When my celica was written off (whilst parked)...I scored a hire car from the insurance, they wanted to stick me with a nissan pulsar (for free) but i paid extra costs for a mr-s, I thought the gearbox was sloppy from previous abuse, as they do say the fastest car is a hire car, but a chev turbo 400 box snaps gear so fast ...(when cruising) you dont even notice it change gears and that box is 20 odd years old
Long live the old school cars as they really 'dont make them as they used to'.
Nowadays they make throwaway cars for a throwaway society, imagine a VY commodore being a classic in 25 years time ?!!!....it just wont happen they are dog shit ugly, not built to last the distance and not designed to be classics.
In 50 or so years, what sort of cars will we have then? Completely made of a disposable plastic that will bio-degrade in a minimum of 2 years from when it was first produced? Plastic gears (dont laugh theyre in washing machines)? Plastic safety windows instead of glass? A world where everything needs to be recycled or reused. A time when we cannot use petrol for the damage it does to the globe. A time when we find that things like Televisions have been bombarding us with electrons and causing cancer (Hey it wasnt until 1979 that radioactive isotopes were removed from common toothpaste).
And when this time comes, I am sure that the humble VY Commodore will be seen by the 60 year olds as classics. I remember when this first came out! The new GEN III V8 they had. Did you know they produced 255 kW when new? And they had real bodies back then. Not like these plastic things now. Boy. They dont make them the way they used to.)
