I still own and maintain a 1989 Toyota PU. W/o AC, w/o Fuel injections. One complication is an electric choke, and a 2 barrel that is encumbered with some emission reduction duties. One nice thing is an electronic distributor. I can carry a useful puich of tools and to a lot of work on it.
But best of all, I never have to work on it - because is is very well made, using modern manufacturing techniques, good design and QC methodologies. Perhaps a truck like this is a better comparison to make the point. However, it gets low 20's mpg, and I am pretty certain is sub-par on emissions (though legal). "The man" will probably make me park it someday. I am happy to have whatever advancement in transportation technology if it makes people less necessary for driving and decision making, and if it lets our race foul the nest less egregiously.
