Well, actually, my car doesn't include a digital computer. It has an ignition module that is analog but no sensors. Nice complicated carburrator instead of a nice simple fuel injector(s). Of course, the car is older than any of the mechanics that work on it. However, I spend under $200 per year on maintenance for the engine. I've seen the odometer go around twice since I bought it 5 years ago; it's probablly at the 500,000. So be carefull with generalities... :) Doug.
