I've had too many people ask me, "What's the point to an older automobile?", or lately, "Why do you like/collect those old watches?" My answer is usually, "Yea, you're right--I should look into new stuff?" I then ask about that old Toyota truck with the 22r engine collecting leafs on the street. "Do you want to sell?" Oh yea, if you have any old watches--I buy those too?" Years ago I got tired of trying to explain aesthetics, or the beauty of a well designed mechanical object. I tried to put a new stereo in a later model Ford this weekend. I told a family relative, I need to access one of the computers with a scan tool. I think I need a bi-directional scan tool--which I don't have. I put a portable radio on the passenger seat, until I figure how to change the radio?
