Stop in for a cup of coffee

I think the killer of the current generation of cars will be the electronics. Not just the ignition and fuel controls - because those can and are hot rodded and substituted - its the all the little unique things - just like on our cars but worse. They'll be great until they break, then they'll be hunting for p/n xyz123 used on 1.5 model years. Even on my '85 wagoneer there's stuff that's become very hard to get - even something as basic as a PCV valve connection hose, or the air injection hoses, never mind the electric switches and stuff.

I agree the electronics. But also, I just don't feel that they have the same quality steel in them that were in the cars of 40 or 50 years ago. Some few might have, but just seems like a lot are drive for 5 years or 10 and throw away.
