Everything on cars is so complex now. Makes you miss the old cars that didn’t have computers in them. Pre-90s?

I once had a 69 Dodge Dart that my parents bought and let me take to college.

Stupid car wouldn’t start when I needed it to get to my Physics final. I called a traveling repair man who got it running, but it died just as I got to campus so I coasted to a parking space and ran to the final.

The car cost $50 to tow across a street to a garage and $25 to fix.

Of course, that was in 1977 dollars, but still...

That engine was just too simple to be expensive.
