I do not have the excuse of old age.
Lots of places in the Charlotte area I won't pick the 944 if I have to go to or through.
When it was my only car, I lived dangerously. The relief of having something that doesn't get run over and off the road is very real.
I can't imagine what motorcyclists must go through in these areas. Perhaps they are taller or louder and it helps.
Now an old pick up truck, so long as it has recent brakes; no problem.
I sometimes get to drive an ex-military '84 CUCV. Aside from the top speed, I'd take that thing anywhere. I imagine the same could apply to trucks from any era. So long as it's had a go over, I'd drive it.
