lol so people like my dad who buys cars and keep em till they rust apart/engien falls out are gonna have a hayday when 20 years later the engine has a problem, and ooh looky here still under warranty
but anyways, yea what has happened? our water heater is a good 25+ years old yet still scalds you plenty...
lol our pushmowers are amazing... we have one of those old murry 20 mowers (everyone did , you know the 3hp engine and the handles awlays break) this one looks like it hit a grenade yet still starts up and runs. our kmart specual has had a horrid knock for 5 years now yet still runs...(my mom hit somehting so hard it bend the blade a perfect 90* DOWN) our other one is a mongomery ward from 1989 (gave it its first oil change 2 months ago...blackest oil i have ever seen) yet prime 3 times and pull the cord and guanteed to start every time.
but yea weve broken about 3 of those thin walled rake handles. yet our metal tined aincent thing from the 80's still here!
tools are a crap shoot. we have several harbor freiht tools and they work perfectly fine still. i have busted one of thier sockets before tho. i use benchtop stuff and it works quite well. quality seems good-exceltnt
lol printers, my dad stil has and uses those old old printers that use the special paper that has the holes along the edges, takes 3 swipes to print one line and is noisy as hell, uses the ribbon ink cartages. YET still works! now his epson printer took a dump after 2 years, my epson apollo works but the cartages keep clogging with gunk so nothign comes out on the paper or if it does theres major streaks thru it. hes usign a cannon now he got from Best buy for liek $50.
but yea, i see it most in automobiles. you cant work on ANYHITNG much newer than 2000.... cant get to anyhting! 8,000 plastic covers hiding everyhting, simple htings are in inconciveable locations. they have WAY over complicated simple stuff which =more screw ups and harder to repair. take my moms tarus for example, to just turn on somehting simple as a domelight, it has to go run thru the body control module which also controls the wipers and about 4,000 othe rhtings it seems.
