I'm always amazed when I come across an old car test video when it comes to a smooth ride. I'm always hearing people talk about how bad the roads are anymore, bent wheels, bent suspension, and split tires from a little pothole. Many new SUV's couldn't hold a candle to the off-road capabilities compared to these old cars!
We seem to go backwards with progress sometimes.
