You really need to watch the documentary on Cannonball Run - its fascinatingly full of historic tidbits that you didn't know that you knew, and those you didnt. ▶ this video
You will be happy to learn Cannonball Run movie script (also Smokey and the Bandit 2) was written by Brock Yates, original organizer of Cannonball Run :) For more about the whole philosophy of the movement I recommend: The Cannonball Run Countach: Supercar Legend | Full Documentary ▶ this video
You can get some pretty nice non-smart cars and they will put a massive grin on your face! Proper old school stuff. 9ff link Von Schmidt Resto-Mod built to your spec link Ruf CTR link Personally though, I'd like to see the knobs for the essentials like fan speed and temperature as these get changed all the time, radio channels, mp3/disc selection, and then the less likely things to be fiddled with can go on screen and activated with maybe a few buttons. For example, the roads in the UK are full of potholes, the state use this to keep the speed down on the road, but when driving in Germany on the autobahns (or the continent in general), the roads are better made so being able to setup on the touch screen different car setups which control suspension, ride height, steering input, engine tuning which can then be activated by pushing a button to cycle through comfort mode and sports, would seem to be a better bet, a more efficient way of setting up a car. I hope the car companies log all the buttons pushed and touchscreen settings so that they can optimise their "UX" within the cars better because what I hate about the touchscreen is even on dark mode, at night it still interferes with your night vision a bit, and I'd like to turn it off like I think Saab used to do with their console display at night. Bluetooth, GPS sat nav and all that sort of stuff, its handy in my opinion, but I'm also aware of how you can hack satnav to make a target take routes the satnav wouldnt norm
