I was just sitting here thinking about how *** backwards it seems like
the automotive industry is..

Maybe its me but i wish cars would just revert to how they used to be..

When you open the hood of any new car its like a freaken jigsaw puzzle...

It seems like they are trying to make every single component of a car
as hard to fix your self as they possibly can..

And even more costly to have a shop fix...

Btw this is all stemming from a Nissan i think it was commercial i just saw on tv,..

the lady gets in and there was a push start ignition in the dash..

And i just thought wow im sure you would have to take the entire dash off
and some to fix that piece of crap when it breaks in 6 months..

I just wish cars would be how they where...

I will never buy a car again in my life besides the 04 blazer i own that was
made before 1979... random year i know. hehe

Just some thoughts sorry if it comes off as bitchy and really has nothing to
do with blazers until they make a new 1 and do a ****ty job in doing so..

Hehehe.

I have to say that I agree with you to a point. The least the engineers could do is to make the new vehicles modular. By modular I imply that if the assembly could be taken apart and reasembled easily in sections.

So if the Blazer nameplate were to be produced who's to say engineering couldn't improve and result with a Blazer that most of us would buy?

 

if it was a upgrade then fine by all means go for it..

Maybe im just nostalgic for this.

 

Holy big pic...lol.

Anyway, with new standards and new technology always arising stuff is bound to get more complicated. There's no way the industry could stand still with a 1970's style components and technology. It just wouldn't make sense in today's world.
With that said however I do think certain vehicles on the road today just have far too many gizmo's and crazy sensors that are just begging to break and cost 100's of $$ to fix. Stuff like blind spot sensors, backup sensors, the sensors that beep when you drift out of the lane or are coming up on something to fast...the automatic parking cars and the list goes on. It's all just stuff begging to mess up.

 

i think its ironic that car makers go to electric power
those cars are way too over priced for them to think it is going to save the environment
no one will buy them because they are too expensive
they complain about gas mileage
when i went to the glada auto show today
and there was a brand new dodge viper, with a v10 that got 22mpg on the highway
when sedans with engines barley half as big get about 30
if they really wanted to, they could make those smaller engines get way more gas mileage
or they should if they can get good gas mileage out of a v10
plus, why not go to diesel?
alot less expensive then electric
alot less maintenance
and really good gas mileage
there was a vw that got 67 mpg on the highway
i think they should put diesels in cars
and that would help lots with the gas mileage thing

 

It's funny because electric cars actually do more harm to the environment then regular petrol cars. I forget the exact figures, but what it's surprising how much the production of a Prius ruins the environment. From the toxics in the battery to the way they ship parts from all over the world. I'll see if I can dig up the info on it...it's pretty interesting.

 

if they want gas mileage, performance, and convenience diesel is the way to go

 

The heck with the environment! Ship that motor down under! j/k LOL

 

The PRIUS thing was on Top Gear

where the BMW pwned it for gas mileage

 

get that nasty ole ford motor off here
them and their stupid front drive distributors
