I think the electronics on cars today can’t be compared to even 20 years ago.

Yeah, true, although the Navy did test cars made from 1986 to about 2002/2006 or so. I work in auto parts myself so I do see a lot of auto electronics. Well if that ever happens, I might be an auto parts tycoon. B-)

Speaking of movies, I'm also a Harry Potter fan, I liked the old English 1961 Ford Anglia The Weasley Brothers used to bust out Harry with. It was enchanted to fly, but I have a kind of interest in those old English Fords. I saw the hood open up on one of those and you just has a small 4 cylinder engine, a radiator, a master cylinder and a battery and that was it. It looks like a monkey could fix it. There is a guy on YouTube called "Dave's Farm" where he manages to get cars to run that haven't ran for 10, 20, even 40 years. He went to Holland to visit a guy who does the same thing and got a 1961 Ford Anglia to run after 10 years.
