"For example, look at todays modern cars. They are made out of plastic and tin. They are low quality pieces of crap, and yet most people are stupid enough to buy them."
As an old guy that bought cars from the 60's new ( well 69 Chevelle) you don't know what you are talking about. I have several muscle cars that we are restoring or have restored. None of them will go much over 100k miles reliably when daily driven as hard as newer cars. I have a Mazda RX7 with over 200k miles that is still driven daily (hard) by my son. My last work truck (94 chevy) had close to 200k when I sold it and bought a 2000. It never needed any repair except an altenator. It got much better fuel milage, with great towing power, than any of my other trucks I have owned ,including a 69 ford. Your mil grade and toy 1200 is funny but the car comment shows ignorance of modern advances in the auto industry. Do you remember points and all the other associated maintence hassles?
BTW the muscle cars interiors are still alot of vinyls and plastic! Of course our 58 Buick isn't :-D
