I like my old cars but the modern Hemi cars with their conveniences and horsepower, being equal, are just too hard to pass up. Plus the younger folks can daily drive one of these newer cars. Hemi's have been out for awhile now.



The modern cars arent “ too hard to pass up for me”. I like muscle car era cars. Modern 4400 pound cars don't do much of anything for me.
