I have most of the same experiences as you. I seem to have come out with a different perspective though. I had some of those big cars in the 70's and 80's; most would not stop in a straight line and they are all rusted out now. We used to haul feed in a car, too. Some folks around here still do.

I own houses ranging in age from the 50's to one a year old. The old ones don't hold up without continuous upkeep/updates. I think people forget about what they have done to their house since it was new. They wouldn't like their original house now.
