What's with the New Cars?  (Question from an over-40 year Squareback owner.)
- No easy radio turn dials so you don't have to take eyes off the road.- No wing vents, so you don't blow hats off those in back seat to get some air....or vent cig smoke.
-  Many newer cars slope down in front, as if ready to dig into an embankment.- No "sacrifice" bumpers, easier and cheaper to replace/repair than the whole front or rear end.- No front bench seats. (Not that T-3s have them.)
- No glass headlight lenses...which don't cloud up like the new designer-shaped plastic versions.- Many are so low to the ground that one couldn't get over a curb, steep driveway, or bump in a lawn.- No hubcaps...replaced by "spoked" stylish, , silvery, expensive wheel rims.- No colors to speak of.  Most cars are colorless gray, white, black, "silver", or dull reds, greens, etc.- No proper size spare tires to just change to if needed.- And....most cars are oversize, taking up parking space, hard to find parking, and impossible to push out of snowdrifts, etc.
These are not "volks" (people-friendy, people-fixable) 'wagens".
