Loading ...It was probably down hill after they traded the horse for a car and a wagon train for a railroad. It’s been changing ever since. Like food they will go on until they can’t.
You kinda made me laugh about the Fiat spiders. I knew someone who had one in the late 60s but had no clue it was s fad was too young then. All I saw I’d guys hanging on to their youth to compete with the younger ones with toys.
I think we were the only generation where our elders imitated us. Ie the Brady Bunch. Mom wears kinda mini skirts, Dad where’s hip cloth and has long side burns to match the teens to 20 s generation.
Cars in those days were simpler. In no time I learned to work on carbs, change timing belts and so on without even knowing exactly how it ticked. These days their very complicated and can hardly see the engine. That’s one change I don’t like. Especially the cost to fix things which used to be easier. As a female and they see them coming I could recognize when they were over charging you. Once they tried to charge me 500 to replace a part. I said in front of other customers the part is only 40 dollars and it’s in front of the engine! His mouth dropped and he said well I do good work! I stopped the conversation because it was going down hill fast.
These days you’d have to research things.
People even with a lot of money don’t buy new cars anymore. They lose half their value the first year. I know someone who makes 20K a month and she had 4 used used cars from US and different countries and got 2 for one plus cheaper for registration as it’s ridiculous here.
I just got a new one cuz I want to retire some year and don’t want to have to buy another after and big enough to big out if needed.
Anyways for that reason, traffic, gas, insurance, registration most are buying smaller cars.
