Well, cars for one go a hell of a lot further than they used to. I learned to drive in my Dad's 390 powered 68 Ford Fairlane which was pretty well used up at around 70K, and my Father was a damn good mechanic. I really do sympathize with you but people have always made their fair share good durable products as well as krap. We just don't see any of the old krap lying around anymore because most of it went the way of the trash heap many moons ago.
