   I dunno; I kind of miss the days when you could pop the hood and actually see the engine, and perform most routine maintainance with a screwdriver, pliers, adjustable wrench, plug wrench, and a timing light. They’re even hiding the battery on some now where you can’t change it without tearing half the front end apart.

   used to be nice to get a new pair of shoes on your horse, and a new set of hand built wheels on your wagon, too. Horse power remained a plus!

   “They finally wised up” and it was about time!
   (Thank you Mr. President).- Much more efficienct these days, Mr. Zig.
   A new set of wheels would be well worth the savings in fuel and all the time it takes to pump it, alone. I can see you in a new little Fiat, Volkwagen Bug, or Smart Car.(Zig would end up with the ‘smart arse’ car GPS, no doubt) either way,..
   $crap the dinosaur, man!

   They have so much electronic “stuff” now, no one can work on their own cars; have to go to a shop if one little thing goes wrong. This is a conspiracy if you ask me. Yeah, some of the new stuff is nice, but oh boy, when it goes, everything goes! Plus, I get LESS mileage with my brand new 2013 auto than I did with my 13 year old car!

    If they ever create an engine that works as well, I’ll consider the car. Especially if it doesn’t cost more!

    The only thing I can’t do anymore on my ’48 Chevy in the picture here is change the oil or tranny fluid. Sits too low to the ground ! Everything else is no problemo !

    The thing about being able to work on the old cars was that you were working on them all the time. I had a 58 ford side step pickup with a straight 6 in it and I was forever working on it or in the shop.
