1928 CAR REPAIR MAILER : Model T

[logan1]

I thought this was kind of interesting. To think about all the work I’d have someone else do on my car; if labor was still that cheap.

Yea, you know the funny part is, dealers don't say that anymore. The new model is better, buy it, not, oh yea, new model, don't worry, we would rather you just continue making yours stay a good car. Nobody wants a decent used car anymore, everything has to be new or it isn't good enough. My brothers senior year in economy they told him you have 5,000 to make a down payment on a new car, what are you going to buy for how much and why. My brother told the teacher he was going to be a 3-5,000 dollar used car. The teacher told him he was wrong? Things have changed, and not for the better. I would say laugh out loud, but its not really funny.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say.
