The new cars we have now are really remarkable in a lot of ways but
fixing up and modernizing an old one can be not only fun but give a
lot more useful vehicle sometimes.

The new cars are saddled with all kinds of high tech, most of which I
neither need nor desire. The current scam is TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System). All the new cars have to have it. It's an
unnecessary pain in the ass.


Then of course you have the cornucopia of safety and smog equipment
that again represent some arbitrary notion of what ought to be. If we
harmonized our emissions standards with Europe and Japan we would save
almost five percent of our total petroleum use as well as improve the
export prospects of our own cars and reduce costs to the car owner.
But noooo, we can't do that. Environmental whackoism is not LIKE a
religion, as Bob Whitaker correctly says of Political Correctness, it
IS a religion. As such it should be treated the same way as if the LDS
Church wanted coffee banished or the Seventh Day Adventists wanted all
stores to close on Saturday.

Just a thought.

Old cars have ****ty brakes. New cars have great breaks. Old cars
can't get all that horsepower to the wheels. New cars do. Old cars
have seats that mess up your lower back. New cars have lumbar support
systems. Old cars tend to bust up into pieces upon impact, with some
of those pieces often flying through the bodies of the occupants. New
cars have crumple zones, airbags and other safety features that
greatly improve your chances of surviving an accident.

Old cars are great for collecting. But they suck as daily drivers.

Boon, you're talking to a guy who furnishes his home from church
rummage sales and flea markets. A person who could not afford a new
car if he saved his entire annual earnings for several years. ((Jesus
Christ, a guy who can drive his "home" to a new lot if he can find
somebody with a fifth wheel who will help him move it. Shhhh!))

Bratzi is trying to feel good about the 1974 Vega or Pinto that he's
forced to drive. He probably tries to impress women with how "kitschy"
it is.

Funny you mention the Vega...my older brother had one and it was an
epic piece of ****. I guess you could call it the '70s version of the
Cobalt.

I remember in the 1980s I had an girlfriend who drove one. She called
me from a gas station and said her car had stopped running. I drove
out, opened the hood, and saw a dime-sized hole in the block.

POS is being polite, but Bratzi loves his. It's all he can afford
since he sends all of his money to that other broke-ass idiot Sailer.

You couldn't FIND a Vega or pinto in existence in the Midwest except
for Vegas that were made into drag cars when new.

The Vega was indeed an "epic piece of ****". Even a broken clock such
as yourself is right twice a day.

It's OK, Bratzi. For a couple of hundred bucks an hour I can find you
a woman ((one who's alive even. Shhhh!)) who will agree that your POS
vehicle is "kitschy".

Citizens of Nevada will be curious to learn when they moved to the
Midwest.
