i am fairly sure i have read that story...
i used to live in Salinas, where the John Seinback library is, and it has (or at least had) a Sturgeon WING. back when libraries got money...

and, yes, i totally agree - they make crap because they want to. cars made 50 years ago (or more) often still run, even with original parts! i mean, not all - but a lot. the way people used to get rid of cars was to just dump them somewhere because they got bored with the car - not because it broke or anything. so why do we have crappy cars with worse gasmilage that fall apart 10 times faster?

because they *CAN* :(
