I enjoyed driving that Dodge too. It made me feel special. Old cars are cool but in the near future we'll all be moving around in self-driving electric go-go mobiles.

I think that will be a long time yet and only in densely populated
areas. We still don't have city water/sewers and may never. There
are no fire hydrants either. Here its a long distance beween homes,
would cost a fortune to install all that infrastructure for a handful
of homes each mile. Most of the roads here are windy twisty up and
down hills, and how will self driving cars avoid deer, and black ice?
I don't think self driving cars can be insurable, can't make the
owners liable, they are passengers.
