Back to the main topic, maybe I should have been more straight forward with you since your stuck in the 80’s. Your going to tell me American cars **NOW** are just as reliable as cars in the past? I know not everyone can have the grace of owning a g-body, but your going to tell me cars now, are built just as good as cars back in the day?

cars are built better today than in the 80’s. I had a decent amoount of cars over the years and as time goes on, cars get much more reliable. The metal in today’s cars doesn’t rust like it used to, normal maintenance beyond oil changes is rarely needed, and newer cars can take the same abuse an older car can take (my 2000 altima was proof of that). Anyone that thinks the 70’s, 80’s, or even the 90’s cars were built better than today’s cars is a retard.

granted, this is normal everyday driver cars, not modded to hell and back. 😃
