Those older cars where much more simpler. None of today's electronics.

No matter how well something hand made is it is always...well hand made. How many hand made parts have been custom made for that car throughout it's history?

I'm betting 6 decades from now someone will still be holding onto a mid 80s civic but anything post OBDII would be a long shot.
