Everything you said is absolutely true, sprkplug. Technology has allowed manufacturers to build quality vehicles that run more efficient and for more miles than ever before. It has come with a price though. When something goes wrong and it will, you'd better plug it in to a computer cause you ain't gonna file the points and limp home. I quit tinkering with stuff anymore because my shade tree shenanigans only makes things worse. In general, I think people just miss simpler times. All the bad stuff like you mentioned gets forgotten. It's human nature to remember all the good stuff and forget the bad stuff. There's been plenty of times I cussed my hot rod because it wouldn't run, but when it did there was nothing better than the sound of that 4 barrel sucking air.
