I read this article today. It was interesting, and I have to agree that the 2015-2020 Shelby GT350 was and is a fantastic sports car!

I love how fast things get off topic around here.

It's what keeps me coming back. ;D

How long have sports cars had 4 seats?

If anything, it will have a serious affect on those pushing the development of more mass transit and high density housing. 8)

For social distancing, lets bring back Drive In movie theaters. Tear down the multi-theater mega-plexes and put back the big screen, rolling hill parking lot and window speakers. Save the planet from all that a/c use. No car? Well, stay home and save your part of the planet. There might be the return of the our passenger sedan with a back seat. 8)

I recall those 60 cent a car load nights where we packed in so many it looked like a clown car when we unloaded. There is a drive-in not too far from where I live, they plan on opening soon I hear.

Hell ya!! Bring back the drive in. I remember going when I was 16 and packing friends into the hatch of my Ford Escort and I'd love a little nostalgia right now.
