Currently the newest thing I own is the wifes '02 PT Cruiser. If things go well, by mid summer, my '87 F150 will be sold and I'll be in a '78 F350. When more funds ar available, my wife will be in something nice, but definitely pre '80.
To me all of the electronics are nothing but junk that's designed with no other reason than to obsolete vehicles far before their time. I say that, but given that I work in several salvage yards, I can say that for all the bragging about newer vehicles lasting longer than the older ones, I see just the opposite. It's amazing how many vehicles that are 10 years old, or less, that come into the yards either ragged completely out in the appearance department, or looking pristine, but with nothing more wrong than a blown engine, or even a minor problem that's not worth rebuilding.
On that note, I watched a guy drive a relatively nice looking mini-van into a yard the other week and scrap it out. I asked him about it because the tag on it was still good for another few months. He said it was a driver, but had a transmission leak that was going to cost more to repair than the whole thing was worth....and he didn't have time to mess with it, so it was scrap.....
Seeing things like this makes me sick...........
I'll take my older vehicles and tractors any day of the week........anyone that wants the new electronic junk can have it.....

Today's Featured Article - The Mud Daubers and the Old John Deere - by Jon Zehnder. I have a 1941, John Deere Model A tractor I have owned for about a year and a half. This is my first (in case my wife reads this, "FIRST") tractor and it has been a learning experience. After considerable advise and assistance from local tractor nuts and the forums of Yesterday�s Tractors, I had finally got it running pretty well. I have tuned it up, overhauled the carburetor, installed a borrowed, rebuilt magneto, installed a new Power-Trol, patched the radiator, installed new front wheels a
