      It never states that they had these in their birth years. Just that they had them. Might have been in the 2020s with the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, which is the fastest car and was built in their lifetime. And coincidentally, currently the fastest in my lifetime as well

      They think '50s hotrods were faster than later cars because later cars were “detuned to meet environmental rules”

        They are still buttmad that Jimmy Carter asked them to not use up gasoline like toilet paper after a day of chipotle and Taco Bell. Its oppositional defiant disorder as politics. Remember how absolutely pissed people were about seat belt laws?

          Sadly or luckily I missed the seatbelt controversy by not being born until after it was all settled

            I grew up in the kind of place where conservative fundamentalists still identified as Democrats into the 90s - Dixiecrats were alive and well. Heard rants from relatives about the monstrous government overreach into the ‘10s as they’d refuse to put their seat belts on.

      To be fair that 1950s boomer is putting that pedal to the floor, seatbelts off, zero concern for anyone’s lives including their own.
