Thoughts?? I remember as a kid either myself or my uncles OVERHAULING our cars (we did it ourselves), best I recall they sure had LESS then 100k miles. I remember patching tubes, recapped tires, and having to change points and plugs fairly often and especially if we took like a 100 mile trip THAT WAS SOME TRIP IN THE FIFTIES.
Now the plugs could last 100k miles and to me a car with only 100K is kinda our main squeeze. You see cars with 200K and 300K or more that havent been overhauled and still running. As far as commuting, I used to have a VW Rabbit Diesel that got just under 50 MPG but I drove 30 miles to work all day,,,,,,then drove like 75 miles to law school for evening classes,,,,,,,,then 60 or so home,,,,,,,,,then read case books and studied law and we had 3 young kids at home and I worked 40 hrs per week at engineering, THOSE WERE HARD TIMES and I drive my A$$ off lol
BUTTTTTTT the drawback is my days of working on them are about over (dont have the computer stuff) HOWEVER they dont seem to need much either if well maintianed.
Sure I love old trucks cars n tractors and can still work on them, buttttttt if you gotta use or drive one, give me my newer model...

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
