I am a big fan of manual steering
Nice area.View attachment 1191060 View attachment 1191061 I spent most of last weekend (60's & sunny) running the cars and motorcycles for the last time in 2021 as winter is fast approaching where I live. My routine for them is to head down to fill up with fresh gas and go for a drive around the country section, about a 10 mile square of county blacktops. The last car to go was our 1968 GTX, a factory manual steering car, as I was rolling down the road I thought to myself there really is nothing quiet like a old manual steering car, what a great old fashion real feel of the road! Here she is basking in the sunlight before getting parked for the winter.
Well you got the NW right.....NW Iowa. I'm a small town in the country kinda guy, it's quiet here, no crazy city **** for me I'm too old for that now. Just got to watch for them tractor turds left on the road from harvest.Nice area.
I'm guessing your happy place is Pacific NW?
I'm the same way. The first thing my wife asked when we looked at my Coronet is if it had A/C. These days the only thing a car with no A/C and power steering can do for me, is take me to one that does!! LOLI'm just the opposite! I like turning the steering wheel with one pinky! I like full power!
ME TOO!I love my manual steering cars, and manual brakes as well.
Yes it does but that's what makes it such a unique experience cruising down the road, takes me back to those good ol days, most of us grew up around these manual machines.Manual steering and brakes do take a fair amount of getting used to, after decades of driving PS & PB vehicles.
Yep, that was me tooThese old manual steering/brake cars require that you know how to drive. I enjoy feeling the road and drum brakes. Maybe it all started with building and driving go carts and mini bikes as a kid! 440'
....until you have to do a 3-point turn or parallel park in a front end heavy hemi car with wide tires.
