The good old days

It was not so long ago that I was replacing 6 cv boots a week. I was replacing pinion bearings in C900 manual transmissions at about one set a week. 9000's were always good for a torque mount or an A/C hose. There was so much work to be done. You old timers like myself remember what it used to cost to keep a car on the road. I remember when a tune-up was a 6 month six thousand mile deal. I still have a timing light gathering dust in a bottom drawer of my toolbox. Can I gap your points and set your dwell?
The whining these days is deafening to me. Maybe the cost of a new car is too high, but I remember when you were compelled to do more than put gas in your car.
