Living in the past

Technology has a shelf-life and this car has long since been at home. The speed, responsiveness, bulk, and bloat that today's cars tend to have make me feel as if I shouldn't be driving this thing around. All around me people are cruising at speeds while multitasking and consuming unimagined power for unimagined devices when this was a new car. So, I often think that the reason I tend to get uptight about slowing people down when going uphill is that this machine lives in a world where the rules and norms are fundamentally different. Which gives me pause b/c I can now better appreciate David Lynch's film "A Straight Story".
