20th Century preservation culture

This occurred to me while I was changing the oil in my truck, along with a friend who was once a mechanic and really knows what he's doing under there. We'd been all over town trying to find a service facility (other than J.L. and its clones) that could change oil in under a 1/2 hour. We finally wound up in my driveway, and it was a true moment of male bonding. It seems to be a fact essentially of the 21st century that no one of typical economic constitution is capable of and/or willing to do this job, the way I recall doing as recently as on the 1986 Dodge Aries K. that I once owned. In the 20th century, men changed their own oil, and even tore down engines. Thus the reactionary gears began in my head. Technology would do well to be frozen to what existed as of 31 December 1999 (or 2000, depending upon your definition). A quasi-religious order would develop, that would hold as sinful the modern trappings like oil change facilities and police rescues for flat tires that now seem to be the standard in 2003. My searches on "20th century preservation" seem oriented to maintaining architectural icons and museum pieces, but not to continuing on without help from the latest and greatest. But then, Kaczynski got started on much the same theme...
