But yet the older cars lasted longer and were easier to repair :clonk:
What are you basing this on?

Typically cars of the 60's and 70's saw thousands of miles less each year than cars do now. It is a proven fact most people drive way more miles per year now than people did in the 60's and 70's.

If our musclecars would have seen 30,000 miles per year like a lot of new cars do, the maintenance would have been outrageous on them as well. Look how many muscle cars are for sale with less than 200,000 miles on them, figure 35 years old comes up to less than 6,000 miles per year. I have a 92 with 200,000 miles on it. My best friend has a 2002 dodge ram with over 100,000 miles on it.

I will give you this tho, if you knew how to work on cars, they were easier.
