Ha, Free? That just means the dealers can add 5k to the sticker. Makes me want to vomit that I own 3 cars I bought from Bergtrom in Neenah......””
Build me a car like my 1965 Pontiac station wagon:
Steel Easy to work on myself Mileage about 18 mpg for a car that weighed 4500# curb weight I can take my dogs with me everywhere I put 444,000+++ miles on that vehicle and sold it to a guy in Sweden who restored it, and it was running when he bought it.
Best part??? It cost me $3434 out the door at Robinson Pontiac in Torrance Calif, tax license and all.
Build me a car that is as reliable as that one, and I will consider buying something new.
Get the government out of the car building business. Government doesn’t know jacksh__ about running anything at a profit.
I don’t want a computer telling my engine how to work, which then costs me $100 per hour for some jerk with acne who cannot spell “trying” to diagnose what might be wrong.
I didn’t need air bags surrounding me then, and I don’t now.
I didn’t need a car made out of plastic then and I don’t now.
I ran the car on regular gas and didn’t pay ridiculous prices because this country won’t drill for our own supplies.
I didn’t pay an arm and a leg for insurance, of which over 1/3 was for “uninsured motorist” because there are over 40 million illegals in the country, most of whom don’t know how to drive, and don’t carry continuous insurance.
What do I remember most about my trip to go get my car ( which was built without power stuff for me-not off the lot)???
NO GRAFFITTI all over the buildings between San Fernando Valley and Torrance!!!!!!
I will make anyone a bet:
Let the car companies build exactly the cars they sold in 1955-1965 and the government stays out of the car making business...
I will bet that the car companies couldn’t make all the cars they could sell if they could rebuild them exactly the same as then.
As much as I loved my 62 TBird convertable, I like the idea of never having to change spark plugs, points, adjusting the dwell setting, replacing the exhaust system, cold weather starting problems, replacing brakes shoes, and hundreds of other improvments over the decades.
