Default Then and Now

Interesting test track.

Some thoughts:

Then: lots of spare parts...plenty of tires...very little rust.

Now: rare spare parts (at a King's ransom), old worn tires...lotsa rust.

Then: Public in awe with modern technology...

Now: Politicians in awe of ancient technology...overheard at the opening of Veteran's Highway No. 416, at which the S&P Museum had three vintage trucks and guns - "It's good to see the army out helping us celebrate the opening".

Then: petrol - pennies to the gallon.

Now: petrol - a mortgage payment to fill the truck.

Any other thoughts?
