I could. I hate the electronics. I would buy a good solid non electric care in a heart beat. Like my old 84 saab 900. Hell I liked rolling windows up and down. Have never in 40 years used cruise control

Pity there are not rebuild shops that would resurrect and service the old favorites.

Btw I knew and stated that Obama’s buy back was going to imprison us.

“Hell I liked rolling windows up and down. Have never in 40 years used cruise control.”

Absolutely, same here. I am not too lazy. when i was growing up pickup trucks only had “on/off” for as heater control. Climate control was born of pure laziness and not wanting to turn a button on or off as needed. THAT is where it all started. Automatic climate control was the beginning of the tech explosion. Everything tech after was to satisfy the human trait of laziness and “convenience”.

“Pity there are not rebuild shops that would resurrect and service the old favorites.”

Yes, I do it for a living, but these shops are far and few between. Hard to even find an auto machine shop to do engine machining anymore. Current society just wants to throw them away and buy a new one.
