I winced when Miss Daisy wrecked that beautiful Hudson in the first few minutes of "Driving Miss Daisy"... it was a beautiful automobile..... it parted the waters as it rolled down the road effortlessly.... that HUGE steering wheel....wow

The interesting thing about those old cars is how much room you had with the open floor board and loooong bench seats. Now days, you get crammed into a bucket with a pint size hole for the pedals. I'm not a small fellow... not terribly over weight, just big and tall. I feel clostraphobic in today's "affordable cars". If there's a passenger in the back seat, then my knees are at my chest in a civic.
