Hey Eric,
I was having an issue with my car and I could not figure out what was causing it, so I brought it to my local mechanic. He and I went for a test drive to diagnose it, and we got to talking about cars. He and his brother own the shop that their father started in 1956 (pretty cool). Anyway, I asked him how he liked owning a shop, and he said something I found very interesting. He said, “Well, it’s a hard business to make money nowawdays. Back in the 80’s, it was much easier to make money. Back then, cars needed more work to keep them running well. In the winter, a lot of cars would need tuning to start reliably. Now, cars have gotten better and have fewer problems.” On a side note, this shop is very busy all the time, so I can only imaging how busy they were back then.
What are your thoughts? Do modern cars have fewer issues as compared to cars in the 1980’s? Could this be a topic for a video?
