And it's lament.

things were so much simpler in the past.

especially with cars.

except maybe tuning them.

You should have been around in the 60's & 70's when you needed a screwdriver around just to stick in the carb. Flooding was a another common prolem for some.

Yeah progress is a good thing :up:

Seems like alot of people forget what it was like just to get your car started till fuel injection came along. Now some people get pissed if their cars have a hic-cup for a second.
Sure don't miss those mornings sticking a bic pen into the carb to get car started.

I don't miss my old cars that flooded or had hiccups accelerating due to carb problems. I love the newer fuel injection and ignition systems. Starts reliably every time on the first crank.

My first real car was a 75 Buick LeSabre, with the Olds 454. It idled so high, I had to hold on the brake to keep it behaved in school zones.

I don't miss that at all.

I miss our 66 Mustang. My Dad won it new and kept it till 89. Great car, a few problems, yes but overall a great car.
