You know, as far as vehicles go, to me older is better. I'm talking carburetors, points, and mechanical fuel pumps. These modern day vehicles are far too electronic for me. Look at Cuba, there are no US vehicles newer than the '50's that are owned by civillians. They have doctored and patched all those cars and they are still running. In a pinch, you can file points, gravity feed a carburetor, and still make a vehicle move. Fuel injection requires anywhere from 15psi to 40psi to function, depending on the system, that's hard to do in a fix...sensors drive you crazy without a diagnostic device. I'm not saying go out and buy a '51 Plymouth Cranbrook, but most cars and trucks from the '70's ran carbs., points, etc. Easy fixes and adaptable. Something to think about. By the way, I'm quite fond of a Dual Purpose motorcyle, I own a Suzuki DR650, rode it to the beach running 65mph+, averaged 51 mpg. Not too shabby.
