I traded in my 1973 VW bug for my brand new 1974 914 2.0 back in 1974.
As a kid I really wanted a horse. My mom did the perfect thing. She let me spend the weekend with a family friend that their son had a horse. I always figured it was just the fun of riding a horse anytime I when owning one. We spent most of the first day mucking out the stall, hauling in hay, brushing the horse, checking her feet, and checking the fences. On day two we got to ride it for a little while, and back to shoveling manure. Dang that horse could make a lot of it.
I decided after that weekend, I wanted a go cart.
One bit of interesting info, right now there are more horses in the USA that at the height of the era of the draft horse period. Most all horses are for pleasure only, and very few people "need" a horse. I suspect sometime in the near future, our beloved ICE powered cars will be the same thing. Just used totally as toys.
