Mechanic: EPA & CAFE standards ruining vehicles

I've been saying it for decades now.....give me a bullet proof Chevy 350, Muncie rock crusher 4 speed, am radio, and a heater.

Seriously, some of the engines produce in 90s through 2010 are outstanding and very reliable. What surprises me is how cheap newer cars feel, but manage to be so heavy still.
I'll just stick with my 2005 Tundra. Not one single drop from a leak anywhere on the thing after 21 years. I was going to change the original radiator hoses on it, but I've decided to keep them and see how long they'll last on the truck until one pops. I sure hope it's the top hose.

I've watched quite a few of this guys videos and they run a pretty legit independent repair shop in Georgia.

I'd say it's 2 things:
1) Engineering for fuel economy, as a second to reliability.
2) Increasingly complex/unreliable systems due to low manufacturing cost (can bus type wiring, plastic engine components, lower sub-supplier quality).

These Guy's know there shite I'll keep driving my 2007 Tundra till it stops running

True dat

My wife and I love watching Sherwood and his sons' videos. This short dropped recently. and it was an eye-opening.

... anything after 2014 has turned to shite.

Can't wait to the stories of people unable to start their cars due to breathilizers reading wrong or the auto turn off system gets hacked or shut down on purpose. Thanks Repubs!
