Please tell me what tires, oil, radiator fluid, rubber hoses, rubber belts, batteries, and lubricants never need replacing, especially after 50 years. I'm sure many of us would greatly appreciate the tip.

Not to mention your free mechanic to do a tune up on a 50 year old super car.

All cars need maintenance, the ones worth money usually double or triple the costs of the ones that aren't.

Get out of the bubble the internet has created for you re-affirming your unfounded biases.

A. There are millions who do understand mechanical things.
B. The vast majority of the 'older generation' didn't understand those things at all and had their head up their ass with their radio soap operas browsing department store catalogs for frivolous shit instead of Amazon or whatever was trendy that decade that time forgot because it was just as stupid as caring too much about buzzfeed articles.
