... Sad to see. I just tossed my microwave that I had for 20 yrs about 2 yrs ago. Since then I've had 2 of them already. Things just don't last anymore. There's still fridges out there from 1950 that are working! I'm sure there are a lot of old automotive related items still going strong also from yesteryear. It's become a throw away society....

Ain't that why we keep rebuilding these Galaxies, Mustangs, Falcons and Fairlanes?
Hot Rodders are the
ultimate recyclers ... Most of us, besides working on our cars, also tinker on the house. At the very least are more likely to have the house remodeled than to move, unless its really necessary.
I'm not into this ancestor worship thing, I have faith that this too shall pass. Americas best days are in the future, not the past. We just have to quit moaning 'n Groanin'; get back to the job of building a better home instead of looking backward, over the fence or over seas - more worried about what we don't have instead of appreciating what we do have.
What I do know is I really could care less about what is happening in the EU or Asia. I'm not a big fan of the Global economy or NAFTA. One of the reasons America was founded, was to make a clean break with the crap that was happening in all the different places we each came from. The point was to start fresh...not bring that old crap over and start it fresh in a new place. We seemed to have forgotten that ... don't ch'a know. As a people, we are much better at finishing a fight than starting one. Now everyone is a hyphenated American and we are in deep dodo. When we were commited to making things work 'cause we were all in it together...we were much better off.
