      Most definitely, the junk they make nowadays are near impossible to work on yourself, and are more or less disposable I guess you could say. Heck most times the part along with the labor costs more than what the car is worth. Nothing today but plastic garbage underneath recycled beer cans.

      ​@@dispatch444 thats i believe people should be driving these old vehicles or fully mechanical cars instead of these new efi computers on wheels. you dont need apple car play and a massage chair and you dont need to go 200+ mph to drive a few miles down the road to work. its to go from a to b. i guess people were more humble back then and didnt need much. people these days want a literal living room to drive around in with tv screens and recliners and all kinds of other useless features.
