Dead-end cars ?

SteveBad · 02-20-2018, 05:41 PM

Was reading some of the problems and glitches folks are posting here..........

I can easily comprehend what it takes to restore an older , 1970-ish car in the present day, but I just can't imagine someone in the year 2060 trying to accurately restore a Z. (Or any other car, for that matter) With all the electronics and such, it is surely not going to be possible. I just had a ride in my friend's new Lincoln, and the Z seems positively Neanderthal by comparison, as far as technical features. Guess our cars are designed to be scrapped when they get used up.

Or by that time, you just plug it in to your holocontact lenses and download whatever you want to fix the tech and be on your way. Who knows.

Maybe in 2060 drivers will put water or whatever liquid in the gas tank and the combustion engine and burn whatever it is and make 330hp..

who knows? it's 38 years later....

I'll bet the farm that I will be.

And I'll bet even more that I hope to be.

The internal combustion engine is dying. It is slowly being replaced with electric. By the year 2030, it might gone in most euro counties. The only hope is IF they find something to burn that is clean. I predict when the electric car takes over if not sooner. They will find something to bitcch about it. It may be about the hazards of mining lithium, or the used battery waste and cost of replaced. Maybe then, they might think the old gas motor wasn't so bad.

20 or more years ago I used to occasionally see this bumper sticker on cars: "Evironmentalists! Let the bastards freeze in the dark!"

Take away all of the plastic they use. The polyester, nylon, electric, gas, vehicles, all modern conveniences. Then see how much they will bbitch!

Seen this bumper sticker a while back. "Tree Huggers, Let them burn trees to keep warm".

So enjoy it now while you can, nothing lasts forever.

Keep everything, parts, fenders, bumpers, wheels, skirts, etc. My future grandson will restore it. But will need the future's version of youtube to learn how to drive it since they will all be flying at that point.

They won't know how to drive. Because everything will be self driving.

(They don't know how to drive now.)

If Elon Musk has his way, we'll all be traveling in the Hyperloop, 700mph baby!
