“Back then cars were made to withstand a little abuse. Cars of today get dented and fall apart if looked at cross eyed.”
I had my black Jaguar for 16 years. When it wouldn’t go anymore, i bought a Hyundai Elantra in 2009. Gets great gas milage and I call it my “plastic” car. Not much metal on the outside of car. It gets me where I’m going and that’s all I care about these days. All cars look like boxes now and can’t really tell them apart - the Jags are also boxes now.
Yep, they even ruined the Jags. It took them 60 years.
