> My first couple of cars had a stalling problem, so it’s a cringe moment having the engine shut down for us old timers.

I’m 57. I don’t like it when my car shuts off by itself. What could possibly go wrong? Even God himself couldn’t screw that up! My hemi Challenger does not do this. I will never sell it. I may get buried in it just to be a Richard cranium.

“I’m 57. I don’t like it when my car shuts off by itself.”

I’m 67. My 2019 Equinox does that. Before I bought it, I was driving a 22-year-old GMC Sierra. When I went to pick up my Equinox my daughter warned me about the shutting off thing when you stop. I’m glad she did because I would have panicked. When an older vehicle shut off, you knew you were in trouble.

My husband refuses to drive the Equinox because of that and the computerized features. I gave him my old truck. Yes, it’s still going like the Energizer bunny. Almost 300,000 miles and never in the shop for repairs. Normal maintenance only so far.
