My first car was an Austin Princess! Cost me £200 fifth hand back in 1986 and it was basically a lump of rust held together with carpet glue. Passenger doors fell open if I cornered too fast, tires needed pumping up every morning, and to get it from 40-60mph you put a brick on the accelerator and waited. So it sounds totally like a Tesla Cybertruck!
It brings back memories—the horrible kind.
