Drove back home to Long Island at 75mph getting 22mpg/highway. Tell me that a 60's muscle car could do that.

The performance of the new cars can be impressive.

However, show me a 60's muscle car that cost 1/2 as much as a house, took 5-6 years to pay for, with payments as high as a mortgage payment, and required service at a dealer that charged $75 per hour and had $100K worth of tools and equipment.
