that was in response to the ability to fix a car easily.
computers definately helped out in the drivability of a car in different climates but they also made it “different” to work on. It is harder for me because I grew up messing with carbed cars, had I grown up with tuning a car with a laptop it would be a little different. I think tuning a carb is a whole lot easier than figuring out/replacing 500 sensors to get a car running right. My sho would just quit running out of the blue and it was either the mass air sensor, cam sensor, crank sensor, knock sensor, coil pack, … it’s fucking rediculous. When my truck quits, it’s either a vacumn line came off or the carb is set wrong.
and setting the choke in a carbed car is as easy as pressing the gas pedal to the floor once.
