I don’t dispute that we are better off in some MANY ways but we are far worse off in many SOME ways.

Do you work for dial an argument? Gezzuz...I never said it started in the 60s. But that sure in hell is when it took off in S.CA. I was here and lived it, were you?

“Few even needed 2 cars back then because only 1 parent had to work. Generally, those times were so great, Mom could stay home and actually raise the kids. Try to keep up tex”

You jumped in but totally missed the thread.

“I never said it started in the 60s. But that sure in hell is when it took off in S.CA.”

The 60’s began the death of the hot rod era. The 60’s enabled any dude with the cash to walk into the local stealership and walk out with a muscle car ...

It would be nice to have a choice of rear wheel drive instead of front wheel drive. Unless yo are wealthy the only choices are the Mustang,Challenger and the Camaro. Why does every sedan have to be FWD? These manufactures are like lemmings.

Oh sure, the 60s were the death of the hot rod era in S.CA. Wow...You have no clue. Zip. You best argue that with someone who’ll buy it.

Ya tex, it came off the Harley showroom in 1941 a stock 80 ci V twin. When I got it it went to 90 ci.

You have no clue here.

Really pricey vehicles. How about a rear wheel drive v6 Accord? That would be nice.

You’re the individual who think a ‘41 80ci side-valve Harley never existed. So why would I care what you think? Again, you have no clue.

FWD’s are cheaper, lighter and get better mileage. Also easier time add AWD as an option.

Salaries have not kept up with technology, globalism and medical advances. We are poorer in a lot of ways. Our daily lives may be marginally better but we are less secure economically than ever before.

Only marginally so. So why don't you drive a FWD? Why is every luxury, exotic, sport,pony and race car rear wheel drive?

Nope. I am the one that flagged your 41 90ci post.
