    I'm 67 and enjoy driving mine, although I never go over about 50 or 60 miles. 45 minutes to an hour max. It's stiff, low, and mildly loud but lots of fun.
    Tomorrow is promised to no one.

    I like my big-boy-toy to be simple...to me functional simplicity is one of the highest forms of elegance. Towards that end, what I'm planning and hope to begin building soon is a car based on the post WWII modifieds and track roadsters. No top, no windows,no heater, no radio, no bling...but as comfortable to drive as I can make it without getting complex. But as with most things in life, there is an exception...the provisions needed for my disability mobility issues.

    On the sound issue, I prefer a deep mellow roar, with no droning. I'd rather not alienate the neighbors. Unfortunately my project car will likely violate that preference, because I'm planning on weed burners with 8" motorcycle baffles in the end of each tube. I'll have to settle for trying to get a bit of roar out of my Cougar.

    Depends on the motor, I like most v8s loud but my 49 has a Taurus SHO v6 that sounded terrible through loud dual exhaust. Way too high pitched and really unnerving at highway speeds. I changed it to a big single exhaust with a single Turbo muffler and it's much better. I can live without a/c; didn't have it when I was growing up and got used to it. I do like three pedals!
