This car is giant and smooth. And unreasonably expensive to repair. Jay's is modified for performance, of course.

Without watching I can already give it two thumbs up. Except in the real world (US), you'd actually buy a 72 Fleetwood. And give it a more modern powertrain that you COULD actually drive daily.
