He's wrong about the electronic injection though.

Some of the bells and whistles on newer cars make them more reliable.

My dad was always talking about "the points" being the problem when our 70's era VW bus wouldn't start. He had this thickness guage that he was regularly using to adjust them. Kept the guage handy in the ashtray up front. Modern ignition systems and fuel injection are far superior to points and carburetors and make a car exponentially more reliable.
