Peter Cheney- It takes skill to squeeze speed from a slow poke

Slow, weird, mechanical cars are way more interesting than supermega hypermachines. 

"Tired of speeding tickets? Try trading your new Porsche Turbo for a 53-year-old Volvo 544. Your 0-100 km/h time will go from four seconds to about 30 (give or take), and top speed will be slashed from 300 to about 145 (depending on wind conditions and other factors)."
