Speed Queen still makes products that should last as far as washers and dryers go. Kind of nuts you have to spend more than $1k each to get 30 year old tech in a washer and dryer though.

if those MBAs were really smart they should have put you in charge! Then close the door of their corner office to surf the net & play video games … all the while making 2 to 3 times youre salary…. smile

They're fine to use up if you still have them, but they're not something to seek out today. It's a small list of things that predate the cost cutting era: 1960's-1980's Mercedes; 1990's and 2000's GM and Ford pickup trucks; Panther-chassis Ford sedans; mid-90's to early 2000's Lexus and Toyotas; and 80s and 90's appliances.

Technology moves onward, and the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) is all found today, trickled down to the middle class. Even sport compacts are quicker than exotic cars from just a decade ago:
