That would certainly explain a fair amount of the stupid in the world. Critical thinking skills are an endangered species.

P.S.
No, not just gas mileage. Weight, handling like a lead brick, lack of safety features, lack of AWD, lack of (OEM) turbochargers, solid rear axles, leaf springs, etc, etc, etc.

For those who are still scratching their heads, I'm a technophile. I rarely hang on to something when there is a better option available. I mean, I grew up liking 80's BMX bikes, but my GOD they were pieces of garbage. 25 years has dramatically improved the durability, weight, performance, versatility & handling of BMX bikes.

Nostalgia doesn't really factor into things for me. ;)

My '69 SS396 had an L88 cam, 850 DP and 4:56 rear; cruising I would get 4-5, depending.

Running the highway was brutal and noisy, and fetched me 7 mpg, once.

What was really nuts was I actually thought the gears were a concession to drivability; I had a set of 5:13s on the shelf...:rolleyes:


@Carlos-

I was buying gasoline for about .40/gallon - mileage wasn't a concern. :wink:

Ah ok then, lemme see if I can whittle that down;

• 1) anyone who does not agree with you is stupid
• 2) dis-believers cannot think critically, which explains their stupidity
• 3) and old things are also stupid

got it...geez, why we dont just change 3sgto into "IPD-is-more-awesome-than-you" :p

Anywhoo, back to the funny...
