Give me another '69 Chevy pick-up I can rebuild in one day or keep your plastic junk...

heh, heh... Mine's a '78 Chevy, almost fully restored. Wouldn't trade it for one of those new POSs even if you gave it to me. Been there, done that, didn't like the wrecker charges.

You get the picture perfectly clear.

I reverted back to buying older, more reliable cars that are user friendly in maintenance and repair. Getting gouged by the towing and repair scam is ridiculous.

I don't need seats wired into the central computer that massage my testicles. It is not the user friendly feature I'm looking for IN A CAR.

GM makes some great drivetrains, it’s just too bad that the cars they’re bolted into are crap. :P

“Mine’s a ‘78 Chevy, almost fully restored.”

I tried to explain to someone the other day that the mechanics of cars haven’t changed that much in the last 45 years. Other than fuel injectors replacing carburators (sp?) there really hasn’t been a MAJOR advancement in car design.

Take a 1965 Mustand and drop it into the middle of a modern parking lot, and it would fit right in. Fewer bells and whistles (creature comforts like the sound system, seats), but as far as the engine and drive train, very little difference.
