That's odd. We were just the other day talking about cars today vs. cars yesterday and how much better they are now.
I can't remember the last time I changed a tire. I don't know exactly where my spare is now.
Or when I had to get a battery jump. About a year ago I looked under the hood for my battery. Couldn't find it. My neighbor came over he couldn't find it. I asked at the dealership next time I was in and learned that it was under the back seat.
I used to have a 66 Mustang. Whenever I needed to change the water pump, I bought 2 replacement pumps. You you always sure to crack the first one you tried to replace.
My point is...the things that I routinely did to the older cars I can't do anymore. Wouldn't know where to begin. But the important point is that I don't have to. Those kind of things along with many others are simply not needed. Crs are made much much better and they last much much longer. Basically, all I do is buy gas and change the oil.
One last thing. I have a Buick now. It has Onstar. I get a periodic email from Onstar giving me their analysis of the mechanical condition of my car. It blows my mind.
