Yep, no 35 foot wide and 1" tall headlights we have now that are all custom and have shitty plastic clips that all break. You cannot convince me cars have gotten better in that regard! Safety is the only thing that's improved. And don't bring up efficiency. We had rangers getting 35 mpg on a CARB in the early 90s.

Well, I regularly clock 46-48 mpg on my sedan during my rather non urban commute. Just a regular I4 engine with a CVT.

Yeah but good luck ever fixing that cat when it fails

It's a Honda. It has served me well for the past 7 years and shows no sign of aging whatsoever.
