So much of what drives our love for cars is also a sense of nostalgia. We yearn for the cars that are no more. And even though the cars probably won’t get resurrected, they are still fun to think about. Isn’t that part of the charm?
With cars and their industry evolving as quickly as they are, they leave us with no shortage of things to miss.
[Welcome back to Countersteer, where we ask you to tell us your greatest stories of success and failure, then we pull the very best of them to share with the rest of the world.]
