Quitting drinking will be one of the best choices you make in your life.

Can't afford to, it's club plates only!
Besides I love my little heated seated v-dub! |
Reliability is actually a lot higher!
My '66 Stang can sit for a month, 2 pumps on the pedal and Connie starts everytime and off we go.
My 2012 Commodore Berlina International on the other hand, had caused me grief many times. *&^*(&%$% engine light comes on, only a computer can diagnose the fault.
Was on a country trip once, light comes on, goes into 'safe mode' and lose all power! Stop, wait, then go again, we only just made it home.
The fault? - a small crack in the throttle body.

Yeah I'm not keen on the new diagnostic system either! I like the old fix the carby with a pipe cleaner when your stuck motors, nothing like a Holley carby on a big V8! Hubbys sprinters have them! I love it!

∆ yeah, it probably does depend on the car - but I'm happy to trade you a sixties vehicle for a modern car in most cases....

I really like my new car. VSS Redline, 6.2l V8.
But, if it conked out I wouldn't have the foggiest idea what do do. It's roadside assist time.
The old cars, you could do a diagnostic check yourself. Electricity and fuel. If those two things were working, you could do a process of elimination.
