Well, that and the fact that we may have more things to compete for our hard earned money these days. It's good to have a priority list.

I still don't see cars as light as mine being made again, and I hear horror stories about service bills higher than my lifetime expenses for buying used cars. The fuel-saving technology is amazing, but I wonder if it saves the owner any money overall. All the news about making newer cars lighter seems to involve reduced durability and serviceability. "High-strength steel" means "If damaged, cut it out and weld in a new part - if it's worth it." People still want to drive tanks to feel safe, and spend fortunes to display their self image through vehicle choice.
