Cars haven't had points since the mid 70s with few exceptions, carbs since the mid 80s.
I'm not in love with those things, but they sure are easy peazy to mess with and fix. The new stuff requires a deep understanding of elaborate software, electronics and mechanical systems.
The mid 90s is my favorite era in terms of having a vehicle that's well appointed, yet easy to work on. I fully admit I'm a .1% person though. I am not down with all the modern doodads and gizmos on modern cars.
I still demand a stickshift - making it tough to find suitable cars here in the US.
