Mine's a '78 Chevy, almost fully restored. Wouldn't trade it for one of those new POSs even if you gave it to me. Been there, done that, didn't like the wrecker charges.

You get the picture perfectly clear.

I reverted back to buying older, more reliable cars that are user friendly in maintenance and repair. Getting gouged by the towing and repair scam is ridiculous.

I don't need seats wired into the central computer that massage my testicles. It is not the user friendly feature I'm looking for IN A CAR.

I got a deal on an 01 (pretty new at the time) which promptly broke down a zillion miles back up in the woods. There was nothing I could do with it- "check engine" was on and would not let the motor start. It took me 2 days to hike out, another day for a buddy and me to go get the thing (he only charged me 1/2 day for the wrecker), and then I got whacked $675 to replace a $12 crank sensor (or some such).

Considering I completely rebuilt the 350 that's in my current truck for a bit more than $450, and I guarantee it would drag that 01 around the yard without even breathing hard, and get better mileage doing it, you can understand where my butt got a little sore. :D

There's no way I will go back to something I can't fix right here out of my garage.
