I've bought three cars from new in my motoring life. The first two were in the 80's, the third was last year.
What I can't get my head around is that way back then, when you bought a new car, you had to 'run it in'. This meant driving it at snail's pace for the first 1000 miles or risk ruining the engine on your new-found love before you became properly acquainted.
Then after the 'running in' period, you had to get it back to the garage pronto so that they could tighten up all the bolts which would have worked loose and check for leaks and other faults which would show up the bad workmanship in the first place.
One of those cars had to be collected from London and as I proudly drove it away, it stuttered to a standstill just down the road because - get this - they had forgotten to put a water pump in the car. Presumably there was no such thing as quality control.
Yet the car I bought last year needed none of this. When I collected it they were quite happy for me to drive away like Michael Schumacher.
Then after giving it a good workout, I took it in for its first service after 15,000 miles.
Of course there is a simple explanation. My first two cars were man-made. The latest was made by robots.
I wonder if you can get a robot to do the gardening?
An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him.. smile. http://wallpapershd3d.com/ So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat!
