I drive a car that is old enough to vote in the coming election. No major repairs have been done.. Cars from long ago generally did not do that well. In fact my mother tells of her parents having Two Model Ts and 3 Motors and a garage that was a converted Ice House.. at one end of the garage was a work bench with the spare motor. When one of the other two failed they ran the gantry crane down and pulled the engine. ran it down to the bench, picked up the bench engine and the car was quickly back in service. they they fixed/rebuilt the benched engine.. Only "Major" repairs on my 2001 Neon... Motor mounts and an idler pulley .
IT still runs like new.
And those cars from teh 60's.. Double digit MPG was not common.. My 01 does 25mpg easy. modern cars 30-40
