They don't build them like they used to...?
My parents own two antique cars: a black '51 buick and a red '66 T-Bird with tan hardtop. My mother's t-bird has a 390 V-8 motor under the hood; the buick has a straight-8. My point? I just bought myself a brand new 2006 GMC 4-door with a 4.8 V-8 motor. I get 16 mpg in town, and about 21 mpg on the highway. Curiously, I find my mother's T-Bird gets close to the same gas mileage, yet her car is made of solid steel and iron with a huge motor. If today's cars are supposed to be more advanced and fuel efficient, why didn't they put a motor in my truck that can get 50 mpg, or 100? Also, my mother's T-Bird can pull a boat, camper, trailer - anything you can think of because of it's huge transmission and engine plus the steel frame. If I tried that with a 2006 T-Bird, I'd rip out the transmission because of the strain. Today, I'd have to spend $40,000+ on a diesel truck to do the same job. Does it seem like the American people are being ripped off?
NOTHING is built or made to stand up to how it was made back in the good ole days.
Cheap labor. Cheap materials. The cheapest way out so the seller can reap the benefits more.
We live in a greedy nation!
