I hate new cars. I've regressed to 1990 again after creeping briefly into the 2000's, and watching for good restoration candidates even older. Too much garbage electronics and not enough robust margin of durability these days. Disposable cars that are unlikely to outlast the payments people take on for them. I've come close to buying a brand new truck several times in recent years, and always glad that I backed away and found another beater.
I really miss my 1990 Vanden Plas, they don't make them like they used too.
thats the xj make i thought was being refereed too earlier.
