Take me back to the days of simplicity... where 1/2, 9/16, and 5/8 wrenches would fix almost anything along the road :) I think there was more value for your money then. 225 - 440. Nowadays horsepower, torque, mpg, and highway speeds are all way up, but is there more value for your money???
I think we do get more value now... cars do well over 100k miles without much more than oil changes and tires.. i have seens kias turn 400k with very minor repairs (love to kill coils around 90k) i love old cars but at least here in michigan 60k was bout it til they were falling apart.
Plus.. heated seats/steering wheel when it's -20... yes please :)
