Nice the flip phone still holds the charge...try and understand me...I drive a 1971 International Harvester 1210 pick up....got it two years ago and just sticker’d it in march of this year....all manual/no computers or anything that can’t be repaired by a reasonable back yard mechanic. I have even kept points and condenser....only thing electric is the lights/fans/windshield washer fluid...beyond that just a 3/4 ton beast of American metal....I love computers for what we are doing now...in a vehicle not so much...for phones I still adhere to the K.I.S.S. rule...and i am a deplorably cheap bastard.....

I hear ya’. I skinned my knuckles most of my adult life.

You gotta cool ride there. The last time I scraped the contacts inside the rotor cap was about 20 years at a 7-11. The truck had 300 CI straight six. Huge pistons. Headers with split exhaust left/right... Offenhauser dual-plane manifold... the good ol’ days.

Yeah, technology is a PITA. But I’m pragmatic about it.
