I'd have to agree with you, airbagged...everyone called me crazy when I sold all my EFI cars to go back to carbed cars, but seeing daily all the time, diagnostic equipment, and specialized tools that go into working on modern cars, I'm MORE than happy to say I drive archaic dinosaurs!!! lol simple ignition system, fuel system, suspension system...no fancy tools, about 3 wrenches can tear half the car down...and 18-20mpg on the highway with a 4200 lb 2 barrel 350 Vista Cruiser...nope..I cant complain one bit!!! Ok..Ok...I do drive a 90 Sable as a winter beater,bought it for a whopping $40 to save getting rust on any of the good cars, but in the spring it'll go down the road to a new owner as soon as the salt clears off the roads and the snow is done....what can I say? I'm old school lol

The old Oldsmobiles are not as high tech as the new GM cars, but they last forever and anyone can fix them. How can you beat that?
