Very few days go by in which I am not thankful for how much easier my old bikes are to fix and maintain, compared to my 1974 Saab 99 (which I drove 'til 2007). One time the throttle cable snapped as I was getting on the Washington, DC beltway (scary); after being stranded in the median for several hours, I had it towed to a bike shop and replaced it with a good quality MTB brake cable. Worked great for years after that.

(Now, I'm up to a comparatively modern '83 Volvo...I locked my keys in it the other day and was surprised that the tow-truck guys no longer have "Slim Jims" to get into cars with manual door locks.)

I also have a rotary phone, which works great when my cell phone doesn't. Which is most of the time.

The thing about records, though: I bought tons of vinyl in the '90s and early '00s -- the CD era -- when no one wanted it and it was cheap. Now CDs are getting antiquated and vinyl is getting expensive. I liked it better before.
