That’s why I put my $50 to hold a Slate Truck. No screens, no radio, comes with crank windows, real controls for the HVAC, over a 100 DIY options already announced for those with the need to mod.
As long as you live in an area that doesn’t use excessive amounts of road seasoning salts in the winter. The cars I drive all year don’t seem to last more than 20 years before the frames are shot.
?Appliances are crazy also. Refrigerators with Wi-Fi, who the hell needs that on a fridge.And appliances too
My last washer and dryer both were 40 years old when we moved. I had to replace the water level switch and the spring clutch on the washer and that was it in 40 years. We left them with the house when we sold it. The newer house has newer appliances but still old enough to have mechanical switches and buttons. Hopefully they’ll last another 20 years or so.
Haha. Not me. If I can't see my appliances/car/lights etc status and operating mode I'm not interested.And appliances too
Haha. I agree however now that I have all my appliances linked to an app and I can get updates on open fridge doors, washer/dryer cycle is done, dishwasher has run x amount of cycles and should be cleaned etc. I’m too hooked to go back lol
Your 1975 Mach 1 had a computer?
The 6x6x2 electronics ignition box at the time. Can’t remember anymore what they called it. Was electronics potted in an die cast box.Your 1975 Mach 1 had a computer?
Ok the ignition box i was confused when you said computer.I had the DuraSpark II IIRC in the 78 LTDII i had that came with a 351 M [which was a dog] so i put a 460 in it and the DuraSpark worked great with both of those engines never had a Problem with it.But like you said mine was the updated version.The 6x6x2 electronics ignition box at the time. Can’t remember anymore what they called it. Was electronics potted in an die cast box.
edit: Ford started using the electronic ignition in 1973. It was called “DuraSpark”. Dura must not of been short for Durable! They updated it in 1976.
