I miss the involvement 'character' gives with the car. I miss a car thats in your face. I miss a car that you NEED to get up close and personal with under the bonnet. I miss a car that ROARS down the road rather than whooshs. I miss a car that doesnt have trac ctrl/ ESC, whatever, so I can get in whatever trouble I want, when I want.
And I miss a car that looks like humans bolted it together.
The answers in this thread will be all individual, but thats what to me differentiates the old from the new, the character laden from todays slick offerings.

the AU is now sick, but as you put it, clinically sick. one day ill get something old!!!
