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.
