Nope. The older, the better.
New cars stink, they don't have sex-appeal, they all look alike and
they're all too damned rational-built and reliable.


Guns are a lot better though, right?

Nope. Take the "new" WSM rounds. The point is??? Seriously.

Ackley already made a perfect smallbore round with Winchester
brass - 50 years ago. The .22/30-30. A 30-30 case necked down
to .22 cal. 4100fps. Not rocket science, either. Take a
..30-30 cas and fire-form it. Load and presto - no need for
a WSM.

Then there's the venerable 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser. It is to
this day one of the very best rounds out there. Why our
military doesn't just chamber this instead of the underpowered
5.56mm NATO or the overpowered .308 I don't know. Probably
because it someone else thought it up a hundred years ago and
the new twinks have act like they actually DO something for
their paycheck.
