I think I know this car. It's my 1967 Austin A60 pickup. It has a molded
rubber sheet floor mat -- no carpeting. Also no radio, no cd player, no mp3
player, no heater, no air conditioning, no cruise, no power windows, no
power brakes, no auto-dimming rear view mirror, no navigation system,
actually, no nothing. It has a four speed on the left side of the column,
no automatic trans. It is RHD.
And I love driving it probably more than any of my other cars. My wife
hates it. That probably makes me like it just a tiny bit more.

Sounds good to me. I don't own an ipod and I have white teeth. Cup
holders aren't needed either. I could do without power windows. AC
would be nice. A dome light would be nice. I certainly don't need a
black box or any GPS stuff to track me and tell others where I am.
GPS for directions only - OK. A car is for getting me from point A
to point B. Not to be my mobile living room.
