The funniest thing is that the Hakosuka will probably outlive that Model 3. That makes me so happy because people get attached to these classics and take care of them.
And the fact that can you see an electric car lasting 60 years. Be lucky to get 15 with batteries dying and the new tesla cars are making the batteries integral to the chassis so how would you change the old batteries?
What are we going to lose? Heart. These soulless washing machines, no matter how fast, how clever, how modern will never, ever replace the feeling that a living, breathing engine no matter what size or what it's mated to, gives. Fixing, maintaining, getting dirty, figuring out, tuning, finding that sweet spot, and of course feeling that engine run is what it's all about. Electric cars may be the future, but they are not as green as they make out to be, and are just a means to an end. If rather that entry level civic you mentioned to the souped up zannusi.
A Tesla is an appliance, has no personality whatsoever, I'd rather walk on my hands. They're not green either, the fact that the Skyline is still in working order is testament to that. New cars are disposable I'm afraid
No. It can't. And that's ok. Because nobody who likes the Hakosuka and would want an old Skyline like that actually cares about the Model 3's performance. These cars are the exact opposite it seems like. The Model 3 is a soulless, corporate feeling appliance with about as much character as plastic cutlery. It feels disposable. And it is. This GT-R and many more like it are... There is something about them, isn't it? The were built to be enjoyed, whether it would be on the road, or the track. They feel mechanical and analog. That's why they'd break down if you don't look after them. And that's what makes these cars feel actually alive. That's what makes them fun and enjoyable. If you treat them right they will pay you back will make it all worth while. These kind of cars can give the driver an experience unmatched by anything else, especially electric cars. Sure they are fast. But are they fun? Not really. Also... The U in Hakosuka is silent. I think I have to type that under every video that mentions this car lmao
Quiet!!! That's the first issue, listen to that GTR that's music to your ears. You loose this and driving is no joy. People are so so stupid, how are you going charge all these electric cars, oh more and more power stations. And what do they do, polite.
Nothing wrong with the Tesla as an everyday vehicle but it looses a critical test. To anyone who cares about the experience of driving, Driving a Tesla makes you the most boring person in the world☺️....driving a Hakosuka 😍makes you cool as ***k 😛.

Its always brings me joy when I see the Hakosuka!
You guys finally Uploaded. I'm glad.
Wow, great job, I'm waiting for more :)
The Hakosuka is nothing less than a masterpiece. Oh, and the U is silent.
That is a beautiful sounding car
Superb feature, more of this please, more often and more gentle lover action.
Seiko Pogue!
Difference between electric and internal combustion....
As soon as i heard the engine and exhaust i smiled
Just found your video, so good to see the beautiful Hakosuka driving.
Ps don't care about the Tesla but please let me drive the Hakosuka 😍
Welcome back.
Yes! new content!!

You could say the same about pretty much any new car. They’re all boring. You can’t compare them to classics.
You can absolutely tell this was shot on Dartmoor, wildlife cameos everywhere.
I'd better be resting in peace before every car goes "heartless".
1:58 what's the music name? 😅
I didn't know Robert Knepper did car reviews?!
It's pronounced Ha-koss-ka btw. The U is silent.
Excellently shot and presented
KILL THE MUSIC DROWNING OUT THE HOST.
No. It can't. And that's ok.

Sure they are fast.
But are they fun?
Not really.
Also...
The U in Hakosuka is silent.
I think I have to type that under every video that mentions this car lmao
You're not wrong about the pronunciation
You put exactly my thoughts into words perfectly. Thankyou!
Also, I never knew that. Hah-koh-skah?
@@KartsAgainstHumanity yup exactly.
U in japanese is silent pretty often
外人には本物の箱スカGT-Rは定価では買えない。
本当に欲しいなら所有者に何百回も懇願するか現金で300万ドル(4,5億円)を持って高値でも買う姿勢を取らないと無理だな。
Is electricity free? Tesla will be making IC engines sooner
