I challenge any and all of you to get the same visceral effect with an electric vehicle.  You can't.  You just can't.

It's like she's alive.  It's alive!  It's alive!!!
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I'm with ya, Richard.

My grandmother used to let me press the "gas pedal" on her Singer sewing machine occasionally.   

Same non-thrill as an electric car nowadays. 

But, at least with a sewing machine, you can make a buttonhole...instead of looking like a butthole.
Current:

Us ICE guys are the last of our kind.  There is no shame in reveling in our times.  We are going to leave this world with a bang, an internal combustion bang.  And the rest is history!  We are all history in the end.  Even the millennials.

That narrator you hired is pretty spooky
Living RENT FREE in your minds...

Home of the Hertz Musketeers 

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs.  It's jolted by every pebble on the road

I have all UNGOLD cars

I am certainly not a Shelby Expert

Life is short B happy

To me that is a compliment.  Thank you.
