Every time this subject comes up, I have to shake my head and smile at the dinosaurs comments.

I sure miss the cars of the 60's except for maybe having to replace points, condensers and plugs every time we turned around, tires which could not go over 20,000 miles and an expected life of less than or maybe even 100,00 miles if they did not rust out before that. I miss the squeal of drum brakes and how they faded if damp. The last modern vehicle we traded in had 150,000 miles with a good 50,000 more had we kept it with just normal maintenance, but it was obviously not made with excessive human labor.

If you prefer the old revolvers then buy them, just do not condemn the new materials which do not have to be individually fitted for good service. This may insult some, but it is called progress folks.
