Ford VS Chevy

Oh i can agree with the mechanics definitely. Carburetors by nature are finicky and distributor caps, namely rotor buttons are constantly going out. Electronic ignition and timing is certainly better, so is fuel injection and its a faster response to the engine with no delays. Comfort features today like far better air conditioning, power windows, heated mirrors and antilock brakes are way better too.

There is an advantage though to an old car vs a new and thats the fact anyone with a set of tools and a little know how could work and repair their cars themselves. Things today are so complicated and intricate, you can barely maintain a car beyond changing your own oil or air filter. Some are so screwed up, you cant even get to the batteries without removing a wheel and a wheel shroud. I had a Stratus like that lol

Agree there for sure, you used to be able to work on any car with your basic everyman's tool kit. I don't mind working on modern cars so much but what I do mind is the cost of the specialized tools you need to do it. I've invested probably $2,000 in tools to work on my wife's Porsche because so many things require only that one tool that you can only get through the Porsche dealer, and then like you said, getting to things requires taking half the car apart.

I actually had 1 go down and rented a new Ford F-150....never ever again. When I hit the gas pedal I want it to go, not hesitate and think about what I wanted to do. :ROFLMAO:
