That’s right I sure do too LOL. Luckily I have a large stock of it stocked up.
Seriously though I don't miss the days of the VCR tapes getting ate up.
I don't miss the days of working on carburetor setups on my friends 70' Chevelle.
I don't miss the days of the phone on the wall.
I could go on and on,but for me I personally love new technology and even though it's new it's not impossible to learn and adapt with it.
You have ways around those situations.The one thing I dont miss is the old modems and dialing up to get internet access. Those days when nothing was wireless except cordless phones.
You have ways around those situations.
People go visit friends and play games together on console, or they bring PCs around for lan party, or they burn CDs by copying (things weren't locked down as bad back then).
Everyone is.I think I was born in just the right time:
Yeah, you belong to the '60s!Although I don't push OCI as a goal I sure am glad I can rest easy with a longer than 3k OCI!!
That’s not enough lugging. Grandpa put it in high at 10 mph, and thats the way it’s done. I think it’s left over from early cars with low hp low rpm big cast iron engines. Going like 60 was a term for going really fast, too fast. Radio? What radio?I drove my 65 Plymouth up pikes peak in second gear, foot on the floor and purring along about 20 mph. Ran great and never overheated.
P.S. I still prefer CD's. I gave up my flip phone about 2 years ago for a smart phone. I don't know how to netflicks or watch amazon movies, my elantra has sirrus xm but I'm not willing to pay for it.I don't miss setting point gaps or setting timing on a chev engine with the distributor near the fire wall. I had a friend burned when it back fired , aircleaner off as he was twisting the distributor, burned his arm badly.
I have been doing 5k to 7.5 k oil changes until DI Now i'm back to 2k winter 3k summer. ( only on the DI mazda - 5k-7.5k on the MPFI cars)
I like radios with knobs, but not AM. I like fuel injection, modern suspensions etc, but not all the whizbang gizmos on cars. Things like keyless entry, auto sensing wipers , and on trucks electric tailgates.
So not sure how i fit in lol.
My dad did that in his '33 Plymouth about 10 years ago.I drove my 65 Plymouth up pikes peak in second gear, foot on the floor and purring along about 20 mph. Ran great and never overheated.
To get drafted and go to Vietnam?I should have been 18 in 1967-1972...that would have been amazing.
In some ways, I think I was born too late. Other ways, too early.I got a chuckle about some comments made by @AutoMechanic earlier about his maintenance practices. Oil changes at 3 months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. Some folks just really aren't a fan of technology in its current forms or what are considered modern practices, let alone what is coming down the tubes, and it got me thinking about those who just seem like they were born during the wrong time period.
Here we are coming into an age where EV's are increasingly popular, the reduction in not only the waste of fossil resources, but consumption in general is being drawn to the fore and I'm sure we all know some folks that are pining over points, carbs and AM radio
