except new cars, anything newer than about 1980 and I just dont get a feeling for. I think its because by then, robots and stuff had started phasing out the true American worker who's sweat and blood built those cars that came off the lines.
Just think of the BILLIONS of money gone with cars bought new, now in a scrap yard. EVERY car on the road, in a wrecking yard ever crushed, was purchased new at one time. Think about that.....
