No questions cars and trucks are better than they were. My '10 Subaru Forester (yes, for the haters, it's made in Japan) has just over 140,000 and I've done NOTHING to it except change the oil and filters regularly and replace brake pads once. Still even driving on the original Yokahama Geolanders. It seems like it's just getting broke in. Back in the day I never had a car that was worth a hoot at 100,000 or more miles, some at less than that. Similar experience as the Subie with a couple of Toyotas and a Honda. They are getting better and better as time goes by.
As for tractors I don't disagree. Us guys that just have small acreage the older machines are fun to use and easy to fix, mostly, since we are not spending many hours day and night on them (did that growing up, don't want to go back) we probably don't need all the comfort and convenience items of the newer ones. The guys around us that farm full time use bigger and newer, the BTOs have all the latest and biggest stuff. I have a couple of Ford Ns, a '41 9N and a '48 8N. I also just got a Mahindra SCUT with a loader, 5 yr. warranty and won't have to constantly work on it like I do the Ns. Each has their purpose for us. I don't need a modern tractor to sit outside and drag my manure spreader around the fields a couple of times a week or mow some heavy weeds, yet to put a loader on one of the Ns is asking for heartache.

He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
