Used to know people who work on cars and restore old vehicles. They said it's always better to do that than getting those new ones. Wondered why they said that now.
My husband, a Design Engineer contractor, who designed 100s of parts on so many brilliant cars, the Aston Martin 4 door Rapide being his favourite, for the team he worked with, always said don't buy electric cars, one little electric failure and the whole car won't work! So true!
He was a petrol head through and through, F1, rallys etc.,
That's right. You can pull one small electronic part out and it's completely dead. Old car doesn't work that way. I know (even though I don't much about cars. I hang out with many who worked on them).
You want to buy an old car that works.
Obama's Cash for Clunkers made that much more difficult, unfortunately.
probably the real reason for the program
There are still junkyards out there with complete cars that can be restored. Watch Roadkill on motor trend or vice grip garage on yt.
yep, we lost lots and lots of good parts for the old cars in that massive mess of cash for clunkers. Renegade new what he was doing.
Shit. That one deserve a firing squad.
Yes. I remember that. We did not sell our T100.
Agreed. People ought to demand manual and mechanical linkage for brakes, emergency brake, and door locks.

and manual windows for egress
I have a diesel truck that can run without any electricity at all.
That's the right type of vehicle you want. Good one.
Exactly!! They're not gonna be hacking my new '71 GMC C1500.
I wish I know how to do all that.
