Another "Is Fuel Injection a Worthwhile Upgrade?" Question
Wondering why I bother to come at all anymore when what happens is that you get ganged up on by people who believe it's still 1987.
Actually
We are stuck in the technology of the 70s, because back then, things were; simpler, easier, satisfying, more fulfilling, soulful.Things could be both brutish and elegant at the same time. There was no boring in HotRodding. It was invigorating, exciting, and challenging, to pull the same trans out three times in a week to see if it could be made to shift just a lil quicker. Swap engines twice a year. Or collect rear chunks to say you got a well-rounded selection. Race-gears in on Friday, Street gears back in on Sunday. Or hiway gears and a small well-sorted 4bbl for those 30mpg runs across the country.
The modern cars have taken all that away from us. We get the personality-less crap that the industry forces on the masses;idiot proof cabins that take weeks and months to become familiar with,and you have to stop the car to change the HVAC settings. They took away our freedom to be individuals, and to be HotRodders.
So we are left with cookie-cutter cars that all you can do is dress them up, and they all begin to look like pimpcars. This is technology?
I say no; this is uniformitarianism.
Every car must have this junk in good working condition, or we will not let you drive it on public roads. It's all for the best. Eat your jello. Drink your Kool-aid. Don't rock the boat. We will tell you what you need. What you want.What is good for you. What you like.
The advent of Communism began with the introduction of the so-called modern technological age, and the near-abolishment of HotRodding.
You just haven't figured that out yet.
