Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Modern Cars

[LtWacko (ltwacko]

I don't mind modern cars at all or their wiz bang features.  If anything, they 
make me appreciate "classics" more and "classic" driving skills.  I also like 
defined eras in automotive history. "Men were men" sort of thing.  My car 
buddies who don't track or have not mastered the heel and toe maneuver respect 
the skill and the level I can perform it at even though they can pass me in 
their automatic equipped Detroit iron.

I learned how to heal and toe in a synchro'd trans.  It's still something I 
find great pleasure doing.  Synchro'd trans also made me appreciate and admire 
the drivers before me that could do it in an unsynchronized trans.  

The guys that tout the car before skill, I really don't care to associate with 
anyway.  I guess it's why I like half of you on the list...  LOL
