How about the dollar limit? I am struggling with 40 gees as a barrier...I have more, but no justification to spend it...
On top of that, the new cars are too complicated even for trained mechanics...Some sit for weeks, and nobody has a clue how to debug a maze of PC boards and sensors...
The fun is all gone...Cars like '68 GTOs are now laptops with puny LGBT, global warming aware engines in constant need of energy drinks that kill them like AIDS kills gays...way too soon...
Adjusting seats, temp, or outside mirrors was simple even for a 10-year-old. Now, to be safe, you have to pull over, change glasses, open a 500-page manual...and argue with the car nanny who never shuts up and always wins...
Like being married to two nagging women at the same time...
Actually, more...including those puny engines with turbos...an invention from hell...as well as the idiotic 50-gear transmissions...or infinity as in CVTs...
Nothing beats a natural V8. Mine does 28 mpg at 70 mph. Good enough for me...
Modern cars also have a lot of gimmicks... Nobody needs soft-closing doors...
I do admit that I benefited from the warnings about people and cars I wouldn't notice behind me, to the left or right.
Those unbreakable laminated side windows are scary...
In the US, they should be selling ni*ger-proof front windows that can take a brick thrown from a bridge, even when the car is moving at 100 mph...plus a machine gun on the roof...
