I love old cars. They are so simple and reliable

This was my 1973 beetle. Just sold it :(

Now I'm driving a 2008 Ford Fiesta. Reliable but not that simple... but it's cheap

Ford Fiesta was used in some ralley sports, right? I remember a coworker telling me that they made a special edition that had a manual transmission. Older cars a many times more simple to use and operate. I love the beetle, and if you put a porsche engine in it....:D

That is good. Many people dont know how to drive one now. At least the younger generation. I always tend to leave my keys in the ignition because I know they wont take it.

Yeah, I prefer manual. Off course it's less comfortable but maintenance is cheaper

There are some special editions that you can buy. I know they are supposed to be fun to drive.
