There are a couple of things that bother me about Automobiles of the 21st century..
Firstly they are WAY to complex I would still be driving my Morris Minor because it had a lot less to break down alas
the rust regulations meant that a single blemish on the bodywork on a 60 year old car means you cant drive it on the road.
Despite the benefits to the environment of making a car last a life
time. It is also sad that all the creative mind power in the automobile
industry is focused on unnecessary electronics and not on durability...
Cars can be designed to withstand a 40kmph crash with out major panel
damage what we have now is metal eggshells on wheels.
The other thing is our national passion for Classic Cars. Why do we not have a deal like Australia and treat these cars as heritage items to be preserved with a special registration and more relaxed registration and rules ?
In the future cars may only be used for special occasions not as mass transport so this makes perfect sense.
