67 Rolls Silver Shadow (Score 1)

Maybe it takes a tinkerer's brain or maybe we just won't give up our toys. Could be the same thing...hmmm. I suppose the Rolls is somewhat like UNIX. It was well thought out, in some respects state of the art at the time. Both are very robust. Until Linux came out, both were very expensive to purchase. I've worked on mine for years and I find it to be a lot like UNIX in other ways as well. I usually spend about 6 hours reading for each hour of wrench turning (much like man pages). The Rolls is like UNIX in that the engineering gets more refined and simple as the cars are produced. The simplicity reduces failures. This is unlike other cars and other operating systems that continually add more and more junk that breaks.
