Was that because of the cars, or just due to the quality of car youths tend to own?

It was the cars.
You got me thinking about the question, and I am thinking of when i was a carless teen and paid attention to what family, friends of theirs, neighbors ... drove and talked about.I was careful about just that bias, "teens and their heaps".
Cars then were radically easier to service, but they needed tools-on service constantly. I had to adjust the valve position and service the carb on our (bride and me) very first new car, a 1985 Honda CRX.
This '13 Fit uses less gas, has almost 40 more ponies and is effortless to drive. Its 1.5 made the old CRX mill, a famous spunky Honda four, feel notchy and rough. And all i do is wash it, gas it and change oil&filter every so often.
The AC warning is very real in my mind. My AC feels a little weak in this heat, and i am not confident I can service the unit. I will probably have to pay much for a simple repairr ... but the first such in years. My last extraordinary auto expense was a windshield.
. My father, and his friend, were in the friends truck towing a boat and got a few miles ahead of us. So it was 3 preteen kids and a middle aged mother trying to get a pop-up out of a ditch and hooked back up. No cellphones, we had a CB but couldn't get anyone cause we were in a valley. It was a good start to the vaca....
