If most "Boomers" care to admit it, we hear it ourselves 40 years ago from "Greatest/Silent" generations.
You will never put Radial ply tires under my car
Removing lead from gasoline will ruin performance forever
Horse is better around the farm than motorcycle/quad
Square bales (the small ones) are better than round, etc
I have no issue when someone says they want disc brakes because they like the looks/they don't like the maintenance/don't have the skills for drums.
Drums need regular maintenance to continue to perform optimium, while discs are much more set and forget.
I have to admit, I've lost some of the skills to drive a manual clutchless - I just don't practise it enough anymore. 13 spd Road Ranger in the tandem, the '49 Ford without synchros and the Louisville with 2 spd/short 4th on the farm where good for teaching the proper methods.
What I don't like is when individuals make claims that physics won't support.
500+ hp @5k rpms with 10:1 compresson and no power adders in 302 comes to mind.
Some days, I have rose coloured glasses, some days just hopping in and driving is nice.
