So the 09 won the crash test. Let"s compare the two on the basis of style, beauty, and roominess. The Chevy was a gorgeous work of classic American big-car style and appearance with lots of chrome. It could cruise down the highway like it was riding on air, and you could hardly feel bumps in the road. The seats were spacious enough to seat 3 in the front, 3 in the back. Now look at the 09. It"s essentially a chromeless example or clone of an Asian cheapo with little tires and a short wheelbase and tiny steering wheel. While driving one, you feel every bump in the road, and they have a stiff, choppy ride compared to the 59. The newer cars are all butt-ugly with their plastic bumpers and trapezoid grilles and trunk lines, silver spoke wheels, and side mirrors mounted where window glass is supposed to be. Compared to driving a 50s or 60s full-size Chevy, driving a newer car feels like eating off a paper plate. I appreciate the crash-worthiness of newer cars, but it"s too bad they all have to look like one another, shaped like jelly beans, the Asian look. And all those spoilers on little cars look hideous. It used to be that a car didn"t get a spoiler unless it earned one at the drag strip or at the oval. Long live the 50s and the 60s!
Just my opinion from someone who"s owned and driven cars from the 30s to the present.
It's sad to see what's happened to Cadillacs too. Now they're trying to be like European sport sedans with their stiff, harsh rides and ugliness. And they're called luxury cars? Drive an elegant 76 Sedan de Ville and you'll find out what a luxury car feels like.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
