If we were still driving those carbureted engines with 4 sp transmissions and 4.56 rears on a heavy ass pure metal chassis with no cats and had huge cities like Pittsburgh with those steel mills turning their skies black, then everything you were told in highschool would be a reality right now. But change came along and staved it off. And we need to keep adapting if we as a species want to continue to have a planet that can sustain life.
