Briefly News asked Tendani to share what makes guys go crazy for vintage cars, and he said the following:

"Vintage cars don't have computer boxes or turbos. You get to enjoy the sound of an engine. So, it's just you and the car, and you get to have full control of it."
"In today's cars, you've got your turbos, your eco boost, but the engines are smaller."
"One example of a fancy car would be a BMW i8. That's a 3-cylinder, and that's a very small engine."
