    Drive in theaters, soda fountains, and happy days still exist.

    But they’ve mostly been improved upon

      Cars are also waaaaay faster today than they ever were in boomer days. You could smoke all their 1960s and 1970s muscle cars in a fucking Prius lol, never mind something that’s actually engineered to go fast.

        I have lots of issues with modern cars. Horsepower is not one of them. Idk if you can right now, but pretty recently you could spec a 300hp minivan from most major automakers.

          My biggest gripes are garbage/dangerous interfaces (use PHYSICAL CONTROLS, fuck touchscreens!), monthly/extra fees for features that should be included with the cost of the car, and invasive tracking.

          Oh, and manual transmission is becoming harder and harder to find.
