I'm with you, mine do break down, now and again. But much more seldom than
before. My work van just rolled over 200,000 miles, and it's still a
dependable vehicle.

Cars are far more reliable than years ago. Last time I was stranded was
1986. Before that, it was common to see cars broke down on the side of the
road. Very rare today.

Yup. I'm driving a car with 100,000 plus on it, and it starts every
time.

When I was a kid, several! decades ago, a car that old wouldn't
reliably make it to the grocery store.

I haven't changed a flat tire in probably 30 years. When I was a kid
I did it so often I became skilled at it.
