In Europe some producers are also saying that you don't need to change the oil, but it's about the oild from automatic geraboxes. Lifetime oil they say. Some say you still need to change it, other no. In Romania it's good to change oil because you know, it's Romania and you can't be sure of the qualty of products...
True, cars in the day where simpler. I want an classical preselector gerabox because it deosen't requiers vacumm or selenoids like other types of preselectors. I don't know if I'm able to start rolling a classical manual, but a classical preselector I think I can do very easy. I don't mind cars having some saftey features, but don't transform it into an space ship.
I think the import cars had also one other advantage: the adrees the public who wanted a small cheaper cars. Big powerful cars are good, but living in New York City, Boston or California will get you in nasty traffic; plus some people didn't had money for bigger cars. And American manufacturers quited for a time making small cars.

1976 "Cadillac". My 1st and only "Cadillac" ride. And 1st and only time that I've seen for real an 8 track cassette player working. And the only car that I feel as confortable as in a train... Europeanen cars are too small. In big cities and for short rides are nice, but for long rides if there are full it's nasty. And I'm not a tall guy. Darn, even in streetcars (trams in British English), trolleybuses and urban buses I have more space for my feet.
