decided i'm sticking to cars my age or nearly so. i don't have a mac-daddy tool wall OR a diagnostic system or even a garage, just a driveway and a workshop and a carry around tool box. Falcons will be my drug of choice from now on.
I was in the same boat as you about a dozen years ago. I decided that I would never again own a car with a computer or smog equipment. Falcons are a good choice, I have a '65 Comet right now and its simple even for someone with my pathetic mechanical abilities.
yeah it's a little different now. disposable cars that aren't meant to be repaired, they're meant to be thrown away.
