    In the 80’s and 90’s? That was peak junk car era. You’d be lucky to have a car not rust out or need major repairs well before 100k miles.

    These fays, IF something breaks, it is extremely expensive to fix, but you can certainly expect to go a lot longer without a major problem.

      Nah it was peak technology. We got things like fuel injection and ABS. There were standard radios. Components were simple, easy to diagnose, and inexpensive.
