Are we getting more for our money??

Years ago, my 63 died on the way to work I popped off the distributor cap and found one of the point contacts had fallen off. I kept a set of points in the glove box and a few basic tools, so I changed out the set of points and eyeballed the gap put it all back together and it started, and I drove on to work and wasn't even late. Try that with today's cars.
