Why don't they make vehicles like they used to?
I own a 1985 Chevrolet Silverado 2wd shortbed pickup, 1984 chevy custom deluxe longbed 4wd pickup, and a 2005 chevy silverado z71 shortbed single cab. When I drive my 84 and 85 I enjoy it, it's nice and spacey on the inside, not too smooth and not too rough, the nice rumble of the engine, and compliments from people and one of the last things they say to me is "they don't make them like they used to!" I look at brand new chevrolet trucks and 1987 and below and I find the older models much more appealing. If something breaks I can fix it, if I need to pull someone out of a ditch a nice 350 motor will do it. It frustrates me so much that they will never go back to making trucks and cars this way. Now it's all about technology, if you ask me I would hate for a car to talk to me and there is no quality in parts at all. If you want to fix something on a new vehicle you usually end up taking it to a place to get it fixed and pay lots of cash for a stupid computer chip or sensor. I payed lots of money last time to fix my old 2001 blazer that I used to have because the computer went bad in it. All new vehicles have done is given me trouble. My 84' can beat a 2011 silverado any day in offroading. Also, I am not trying to sound like I love chevy or anything because Ford and Dodge do it too. I love old Fords and Dodges too but from sensors that beep because I don't feel like putting my seatbelt on right now to stupid buttons that are making the Human populace into a bunch of lazy, zero common sense, fools! One day everyone is gonna be big and fat or just complete jerks. Like Microsoft SYNC, I have a friend who hates that in his new ford truck. I hate the stupid gigantic bumpers on the new chevrolet trucks. I can't work on them and fix them either because it's basically just a computer. When I ride with a friend who has one of those new cars I feel like I'm going to puke. Also about safety, in the old days no one worried about it, so why worry so much now, back then they were made of steel, I bet if my truck hits your new car you car would be smashed. Why can't they make things like they used to, when they had quality and toughness not tech and safe. I also realize now a days they cannot make vehicles without airbags so don't say that please. Thanks, and please don't flame me.
