I feel that same about my Porsche 944. Not to the same magnitude, but I do know that if anything serious happens to the engine, etc, I will not repair it, I will just get rid of it. It too is pretty well built, so I haven't had any serious problems yet, and don't expect to for as long as I have the car.
Good company. I've been volunteering this week at a golf tournament where Alfa Romeo is a sponsor. Today two couples walked by and said their new car is cute and SO cheap ($39,950) and the 14yr. kid I was with laughed. I've worked with a bunch of local high school kids this week and they have been amazingly polite and intelligent but none of them has had any interest in cars, is this a new trend?

probably not interested in audio either. Nor much of anything else not related to making money.
Any kid that is at a golf tourney does not have the car gene or got lost.

its a Breitling in the dash. Not Patek. Unless, you meant that I stay in the car.

And people call me nasty, that comment is both hilarious and sad coming from you. Value judgements of people you don't know, repeat offender.

Dick might be right about the car gene, we had a 51 Chevy when I was young and it had a very early automatic transmission. My father was an early adopter and believed in the new technology and that a manual transmission was a thing of the past.

They didn't get it perfect ours over heated in Death Valley. Funny also they worry about fuel economy at 0.1$ a gallon.

Please remember they are not old enough for the a$$hole gene to express itself.

I think that electric cars are fascinating! Impractical for me, as I don't even have a garage outlet to recharge one, but they ARE quiet, and some are very fast. As engineers, most of us follow the development of new batteries. In 10 years, some say that the gas powered car might be effectively obsolete, but that depends on battery improvements. It's all engineering and even DIY with both audio and autos for many of us, at least in the past with autos. 'Little GTO' or 'Little Deuce Coupe' got our 'motor' running 50 or more years ago. Sports cars too! When I was a young engineer at AMPEX in the 1960's, most young engineers commuted to work in sports cars.
