Yes. I'm reminded of old cars from the 70's or earlier. You look under the hood and it's all understandable, accessible. Distributor, battery, spark plug wires, radiator, radiator hoses — not much else aside from the engine.
Modern car?
It's nice to look under the hood of an old computer and enjoy understanding how it all works.
Full-time driver? Well, airbags, crumple zone, ABS brakes were all added for a reason....
Nice to have a hobby car in the garage though to tinker with, take out on Sundays.
