I agree as well. I'm 28 and I only drive V-8, rear wheel drive, full size, Detroit iron.

I learned to drive in a beat up Caprice, then had a few front wheel drive junkers in college, but nothing compares to the rear wheel drive experience.

Some kids like my younger brother, have never driven a rear wheel drive full size car until I lent him mine.

He was amazed at how easy it drives!

I just love these cars, a throwback to better times, when cars were made without compromise, and the working man could feel like a king in a car he could afford to own.

A time when we were proud to buy American, support our autoworkers and economy, and we drove those products with pride.

People these days could not care less, all the advertising has convinced people that Japanese and German cars are better because they are more expensive to buy and maintain, and that only old fashioned, working class, and poor people drive North American cars.

I catch a lot a flack from my "friends" for driving a full size V-8 land yacht because they all have $20'000 imports and I drive a $1000 1985 Buick LeSabre Limited. They all think they are better than me, and that gas must be "so expensive" for my car. They can all go screw themselves; my car will last forever and is super cheap to operate.

As well, my Olds 307 gets better gas mileage than my friends 2008 Tacoma 4x4. Go figure..

All my real friends, that have morals, values and pride in their country, drive real cars though, full size RWD land yachts or Ford and Chevy pickups. I find people who drive domestics are just better people period, as they care about their country, economy, autoworkers, and are not as pretentious and self centred as import drivers.

Just an observation...

Anyways I will drive full size North American land yachts forever, nothing will ever change that, my car was so cheap to buy I don't care what the price of gas is, I just love my huge couch on wheels and will never give it up..

Happy motoring, and long live the land yachts :)
