Antique & Classic Cars Blog

Two posts ago we were talking about people walking into the road without looking–a seemingly growing trend in town.

Spent the day helping friends paint their fence in South Minneapolis and on the way home a woman got out of her car on the right side of the street and walked right in front of me. I had to hit the brakes so hard my wheels almost locked up!

I was in my ‘69 MG on an otherwise quiet street. Cars 40 years ago made a lot more noise than they do today. When did we stop looking to see if a ton of rolling steel is about to ruin our whole day?
