Though my dream car is a '71 Mach 1 fastback with a shaker hood.

my dad had one, candle apple red with black center stripe scavenger exhaust and black louvers,
and then..are you ready?
his wife said he needed a family car so he traded it in for a late 70s ford LTD

Never have understood that mindset, or why guys go along with it.

It's like, OK got a kid now and I'm maried. My life is OVER, all fun ends here!

Bullcrap... I'd have traded in the WIFE and kept the car!

For the most part...nothing.

Instead of going up in bits, they went back down to 8 bit computer monitors etc. I'm assuming it would be the same with similar tech like tvs, cell phones, etc. I believe there is some conspiracy behind all that somewhere like accompanying tech could only support so much so they haven't been gettting better, but cheaper for manufacturer and all this declination is really because of spying on the consumer...like check the patents what they can do to you through a computer monitor, messing with your nervous system, etc. It is real and that is why only 8 bit macs, etc. Check it out.

Also if anyone said free cell phones and free digital converters that the govt is so apt to supply to the consumer, same damn thing. It is about control and money secondary. S977

Our incredible, awesome, wonderful large flat screen television now has issues, and we bought it at Best Buy in December for 1200 bucks.

Our incredible, awesome, wonderful Sony Blu-Ray player conked out on us after less than a year of use, and cost 200 bucks.

The technology might be great these days, okay, but the quality? Nada. Not there. Sorry, but everything seems to be made to break down quickly.

IT PISSES ME OFF

I remember having an old console tv my parents got in the 70s. Even after we got newer tvs, that thing kept on ticking until the late 90s.

THAT is the difference. Too bad quality can't be put ahead of "let's make a buck".

It's not a quality control issue. Obsolescence is engineered.

My father had a '67 XR7 with the 390 when I was growing up. It was the car I steered while sitting in his lap on farm roads...not everyone gets to teethe on a hoss!

No they aren't.

Cheap plastic crap, all of them. And what's worse, ALL manufacturers have standardized on the same f*cking average foot model, so if your feet don't fit the mold, you're screwed!
