Our (society ?)(culture ?) is too twisted, I think ! Posted by vtsnaab [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Our car's are just too old!, marvinstockman, Wed, 13 Oct 2010 06:17:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
(Wow. My car is soooo ancient at only 16 years old !!!)
I'm not an antique car guy - but some old things are really very good compared to newer stuff in my opinion.
A recollection:
My childhood friend's mom had a 1965 or so Dodge Dart-> the small 4-door sedan with that wonderful slant-6 (in powder blue).
When it was over a dozen years old she was calling it the sh*tbox - but it had exactly nothing wrong with it and operating expenses were all it cost to keep.
She was tired of it though, and sold it to somebody and instead got the early K-car version with the re-engineered engine and larger body.
Had continuous problems with it. Engine failure even...
She would the swear at the guy who drove her beloved old sh*tbox by - smiling...daily !
Years later, when I was a married guy that powder blue car was still tooling around the old 'hood...so:
What is wrong with OLD - really ?
(That horse in my liddle picture here is OLD - but he's happy and well.)
I'll keep my old Saab happily too, thanks; and be gladder still that I don't have a nice, new Prius !!!
Best Wishes.
