Texting drivers throw me into a complete snot slinging rage. This idgit had me three feet off the road and still almost took me out. Couldn't see his face for the phone in front of his melon.

I don’t. I like to keep up with the latest stuff....and traffic.
A new, base model, Silverado has more horsepower than a late 60’s Corvette, gets better gas mileage than just about anything made in the 60’s, rides better than a 60’s Bentley , handles better than a 60’s Ferrari, AND it has HDRadio!
Give me new any day. The old stuff is pretty crappy. They did have character back then though. I’ll give it that.
Black n white tv, am radio, party lines, out houses,.... nothing to miss.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

And dont forget the advent of safety glass in the windshield.

I rebuilt a Holley carburetor this year in my old car and was astonished how many part there are. Electronic fuel injection is so much more reliable.

Nobody has touched on rolling the windows up and down.
I was sold on technology when electric windows came along!

And electric locks! I hated crawling across the seats in big cars to unlock the doors.
