I’ve owned three 1960s cars and many 1970s cars. My 1979 Camaro and 1980 LeMans needed many of the above maintenance items including the multiple front end Zerk fittings.

Remember how often you needed to replace belts, hoses, fuses, starters, wheel bearings, radiators, points, plugs, and all other kinds of crap that just lasts the life of a car now.

Yup, add that to the list: Vacuum operated wipers.

In a few ways yes but mostly no.

At the risk of diving too deep into techno-speak, I’ll just leave this excerpt here from the article at:

It’s been disproven many times. Toyota’s system is parallel sensors and it’s not a system that can be effected by rf.

I’m suggesting filters and oil that have proven to be high-quality via independent testing.

David,

I ordered my Civic Si sedan in early 2020 and had to wait several months for it to be built.

I’ve seen a few non-car people still “pump the gas” before starting an EFI car, eyeroll.

In my C5 Corvette owners manual it says, multiple times, do not change manual transmission fluid. I do 3-4 HPDE’s a year. Yeah I’m changing that fluid....

I’m a sales analyst for a major automaker, and one of our niche models has always had a high factory order percentage.

How is it stupid?

Pie crusts are the one thing I don’t even bother with.

The manual for my car tells me to disable the start/stop mechanism if driving in start/stop traffic.

Four-plus decades ago when I was young and stupid, the cylindrical Thrush “muffler” was a cheap and common mod for many cars, whether a V8 or an inline six. In my 20s I graduated to genuine Hooker headers on a Pontiac V8 and a pair of “turbo” mufflers in a 2.5-inch system, which was also quite loud. I haven’t had…

Granted, I think some of that stems from people sitting in the left lane, but passing should only be done in the left lane.

After reading horror stories on Jalopnik about Virginia, e.g. going to jail for speeding, I don’t feel so bad about being a life-long resident of Northeast Ohio.

This is when I get out my ACLU card when they ask for my ID. That $50 is the best attitude adjustment for a cop.

I’ve owned a 2007 since new and 220,000 miles + later I just changed out the timing belt
