Didn't watch the video. But now I wonder: did people in the (1930's? 1940's? 1950's? 1960's? 1970's? 1980's? 1990's?) sit around and chat about how wonderful their cars were, how long lived and how well designed, and how they never failed, etc?
There were a lot of bad cars throughout all those years but if you bought certain vehicles which were known to last, like an 87+ Ford crown Vic/mercury Grand Marquis, 77-96 Gm full size car, gm g body or f body, most trucks, etc you could have a car that could last 30+ years under the right conditions. People would scrap cars needing repairs costing much less than what's normal nowadays. I still see lots of 20+ year old cars driving around here and we're in the rust belt. I have my doubts that will be the case in another 20 years.
