First world problems....

[MTMan]

Funny as time goes hearing what car guys have to say and reading threads how it seems more first world problem complaints. If you're old enough to know what I'm talking about, post up here.

One that gets me is when guys say a modern vehicle needs more power, is slow, or is underpowered. I get what they're saying but I remember vehicles coming out under 100 hp. A 1982 Toyota pickup had around 97hp. A Ranger that year 73. Don't mention a 74 Mustang 118?

Or what about car stereos. The worst F150 OEM stereo sounds far better than cars many of us grew up with.

Just sayin.....

I love the 2.7 in my truck. But the most fun I've had in a truck was when I had a barebones XLT rental with the 3.3.

It's better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

Makes the 60hp in my '76 Honda Civic Hatchback seem beastly...

The OEM AC radio with two mono-cone paper speakers weren't an issue after a call to Crutchfield.

Yeah, at 73 I'm more than old enuf

A 1982 Toyota pickup had around 97hp.

Just to stick with F150's .....

1982 F150 available engines yielded 117-225HP

compare to

2022 F150 available engines yielding 250-400+HP

^that's^ including available diesels.
