Yes and no. I sold my 64 Impala wagon with factory a.c. and kept my Toyota Camry. I traded my 74 F-100 towards a 01 Ford Ranger. There comes a tipping point were I would rather deal with the technology failing over a simpler vehicle from simpler times. You can still order a base model new car if you dont want the extra options. Being older I have to have a.c., power steering, power brakes, cruise control (adaptive preferred), back up camera, EFI and automatic trans. I know what your thinking, older cars had these options, but newer tech just drives better as far as Im concerned. I drove a late 60's VW Beetle not long ago. What a horrible vehicle! Like a old motorcycle with a roof. I have also passed on a nice Honda Helix in yellow because I like my 200 Burgman more. I'll stick with the modern tech stuff and ride my 98 Zuma when the old school urge hits.
