Cars That Think

AUGUST 2, 2021

With motor sports moving hard and fast toward electric drive, a friend recently told me that electric drag-car racing just wouldn't be the same without the deafening roar of combustion engines and the smell of "nitro" fuel. So perhaps it isn't too early to start getting nostalgic about our gas guzzlers. She's 90 years old.
