If they ever ban two stroke engine bikes in Barcelona I will die inside.I get you. I used to drive a Vespa from 1967. I loved how everything worked mechanical. You really had to know and 'feel' the vespa to be able to drive it properly. I had so much fun driving that thing. It was my daily driver for almost 10 years. Unfortunately in 2014 the city of Amsterdam banned two stroke engine mopeds because of environmental issues.
I would love to own a car like that. Not as a daily driver but as a fun car for the weekends. Pre covid I used to drive 55000 km / year. When you spend so much time in your car, you're happy it does a lot of things on it's own

Ah! Such a proper interior!!! Clear gauges, 3-pedals, 5 on the floor, simple, efficient and "texting-resistant". I still have a 6-speed manual car, however it's very nearly impossible to find a manual truck in the US anymore.
Anyway - oh for the simpler times...
Yep, daily driver. Got it new in 2017, but it feels like an 80s car. I get people telling me "Looks great for such an old car" all the time.
I hate cars that do things on their own (auto lights, auto everything) and hate cars that beep at you all the time.
This one has no beeps, nothing automatic, it's like an 80s car, i love it.
I don't do much long distance so it works out, i also use it to work in the woods/fields around where i live so it is very convenient for that. If i had to do long distance on the motorway daily it would be a nightmare, it's not super comfortable and it's super noisy as there is no sound insulation (although i did dynamat the whole car which helped).
Edit:
This is the interior, it's like time traveling....

Man, shape that collar!It’s negative 8 million degrees in Chicago. The kind of weather that makes me curse like a drunken sailor when I have to walk 8 feet to the garbage can. I’ve been doing my daily due diligence, cleaning the house, laundry and the lot in this Aero. Much like the owl, I’m trying to get to the center of this tootsie pop.
GO CHIEFS!
