Yet. God knows why. Maybe a bit of nostalgia but most of all I do not like to ditch stuff that is still perfectly working. Just like a former colleague who used a 1954 Chevy pickup truck as his daily driver. On days when he didn't have anything to pick up from Home Depot he often used their early 50's Chevy Bel Air. Both surprisingly low maintenance. I've got to think a 1950s Chevy needs a LOT of maintenance compared with a modern car. I've kept the maintenance log notebooks from almost every vehicle I owned. The ones I had in the 1970s seemed pretty good to me at the time. But when I resurrected their notebooks out of curiosity (Kawasaki motorcycle, Corvair Corsa, Honda Civic) I was astonished at how often I was fixing things. -- - Frank Krygowski |
