re: #201 Obdicut

I know that, but then it should be something you save up for, and buy, because it’ll save you so much in the long run. Our grandparents, or my grandparents, knew that, and bought durable, long-lasting goods even if they had to save up for them.

It’s worth it, economically.

Manufacturing processes back then couldn’t help but make things that lasted forever because they didn’t have the ability to make lightweight cheaper materials. If Ford would have had the ability to manufacture lightweight components they would have. Our grandparents weren’t brilliant, they just didn’t have any other options.

The “good ol’ days” are a myth.
