Hey Scottt, how are your horse and buggy skills?  How about your chariot
driving skills?

It's all perception.  Your definition of "Stupidification" is a point of
view.  Not unique to any one generation...

Dang!  It's not even Friday yet.  Need some Vanagon content:

    Just like most other older models, Vanagons (yeah) will become harder to
find, and competent mechanics will be few and far between.  There seems to
be a cycle here????

Cheers,

Jeff

there is a creeping stupidification going on ..in the entire culture.
That's what could do vanagons in.  Nothing about the vehicles themselves, or
even about parts for them.
   by 2030 most people won't be steering their own cars.
They have already identified......that as soon as self-driving cars come
along ( already with some of those abilities coming out in 2014 ) that
driving skills will be lost..
or I should say ......further lost.
     The creeping studpidification of culture....started with the popular
adaptation of the computer..and iphones boosted  it to a whole new lever of
lack of courtesy, respect, or even enough useful info.
