Not only do I remember when this was all fields...


...but I also remember when people used to gather around a car and marvel that it had managed to go past 100,000 miles.

Technology in some parts of the vehicle has moved on. The part that used to die first was the heart of the car - the engine. That was and is an expensive part to fix so the rest of the car would be junked. These days (excluding crash damage) rust and worn out running gear are more likely to be the real killers of a car.
