Apparently the irony of your using a computer to broadcast your claim of how much better cars were before computers is lost on you, isn't it?

Right on and true for the most part. I remember in the early 90s when I worked at a salvage yard. Most of the 1970s cars that were retired, mainly due to the bodies being rotted away. Engines still ran fine. We sold a lot of them used.

Well said :) Myself I drive an older car because;
1. I like it.
2. It makes more financial sense.
3. I won't be bullied into taking more debt and bad deals that I know won't work long term and have been tried before.
4. Running a car into the ground is almost always cheaper in the long run and actually better for the environment (citations searchable).
5. Point #1 is good enough, now see point 6.
6. Please gentleman let's agree or disagree, buy new or used and be happy, let's not let this comment section go on forever - this site is meant to be a fun place where people share experiences with all types of cars and help each other out :)
