[T3] Questions on Other Cars....

[Keith Park]

Just today an older lady I know went back to the dealer with her new Sentra,
unlike her 2015 they finally trashed it up to the point she couldnt stand it
anymore, starting with the loss of her music as it has no CD player.  She's
trying to get her old one back!

I think Ill stay out of this century car wise...

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".
