False


"MORE" isn't better either.

Good analogy especially blood thinners like Coumadin and Warfarin.

I'd say the same holds true for booze except that's open to debate in some circles.

I wish the poll included "all of the above".
Like most things, one size doesn't all my situations that may come before me.
Interesting poll 8)

I don't feel that any of the options are true.

While I really like these old cars, there are others both older and newer that can substitute for them.

I'm perfectly happy with how fast my '60 VW goes.

Improvement is a very subjective matter; what one may consider to be improved another may perceive as worse. Newer isn't necessarily better.

l don't care how fast or slow, you'll not ever get me to own a soulless modern piece of automotive nastyness.
not for free, unless l'm allowed to sell it on.

No to high tech computer everything cars. total crap

I want a car that only needs a screw driver standard sockets and a rock for repairs. I dont want one that requires camera calibration, touchscreen hell, power this, power that, or that needs to be reset when the battery is changed.

I did make my 60s vw faster, big bore pistons in one, a 1973 engine in the other. 1300 to 1500, 1200 to 1600 motors.

We already had the [url=]Why our classic cars are better[/url] and it spiraled into a whining topic, so let's not do it again.
