That could escalate. I had a Plymouth with a dying automatic transmission, that I decided to replace with a manual. That required some creative design work to get a clutch pedal along with a hydraulic actuator. Floor shift kits were available so a little hacking through the floor boards and building sort of a console out of sheet metal took care of that. Then there was shortening the drive shaft. Finally the project was done and all was well or at least until a cop stopped me for a tail light problem. He insisted that I demonstrate the emergency brake's operation. The AT had a drum on the tailshaft that was the emergency brake but that was long gone. Next step was acquiring a rear axle that had the necessary brake mechanism, and fabricating an activation cable. I had a lot more time than money. It also helped that the friendly family physician was freely prescribing 'diet pills'.

Not every designer/corp thinks in terms of maint. Most USA cars, you can easily get to, replace, things like brake drums/discs/bearings without getting more extreme. But not EVERYBODY thought that way.

Yeah, a '51 introduced me to interesting technology like kingpin reamers. otoh I paid $35 for it and had a lot of fun in the car. Can't beat that old straight 6. My family had a new '51 when we drove across country. In her version of a pilot's automatic rough she would start worrying about the tappets in the middle of Wyoming. I'm not sure she even knew what a tappet was. Before hydraulic lifters a noisy valve train was a happy valve train but with her wolf's ear every click portended disaster.

The valve adjustments tended to drift in those old engines rather quickly. So, 'tapppety-tap' was hardly unusual. Dangerous ? Rarely. Just gets more and more annoying. Was never sure WHY the adjustments didn't hold up better ... points seemed to have a similar issue. I was happy to see magnetic sensors take over.

You should watch the You tube channel 'I do cars' to see why regular oil changes and maintenance are a good idea. The USA, having at best sketchy vehicle mandatory inspections, is a rich source of 'what happens if I drive it till it falls apart?' vehicles. I used to manage a very small fleet of company cars. We would lease them and throw them back after a couple of years. Now mine did get maintained, but many people in that game would not. Beyond necessity. Tyres and brakes and that's it.

So far that seems to be mostly a European thing. The engine in my Toyota uses a chain. I did have a Geo, which was a rebadged Suzuki, had a dry belt. I didn't know the car's history but it was getting up toward 100K miles so I changed it. It was tight quarters but I've had worse jobs. The belt on my Harley failed at 47K. It was quite odd. I came out from work, jumped on the bike, put it in gear, and nothing happened. The belt broke straight across with no real sign of damage. I'd always worried about rocks when riding on gravel roads but didn't see any evidence of that. The new belt was about $150. That sounds pricey but compared to replacing chains and sometimes the sprocket plus the maintenance it was a good deal in the long run. Like belt in oil systems it was driven by the need to meet the noise requirements rather than a pure engineering decision.

Like many things, this is on a state by state basis. This state has no inspection and there are surprisingly few rolling wrecks. New Hampshire had semi-annual inspections that could be a pain in the ass. I bought an old Dodge pickup and somewhere along the line someone with big truck aspirations had added clearance lights to the top of the cab. Completely nonstandard and not legally required but because they were there they had to work. I've also been flagged for lack of a horn. The only time I use a horn is by mistake but you had to have one. They were good business for repair shops. The dreaded 'your ball joints are worn' was good for several hundred dollars.

"They've got you by the ball joints." We used to have vehicle inspection stations here in B.C. but the provincial government shut them down around 1982 as a "cost-saving measure". (Compared to the billions they're tossing around these days, it seems minor now.) They did things like check brakes for adequate and straight braking, check the exhaust system for leaks, check the windshield for cracks, etc. The inspection was mandatory once a year, and you got a decal in the corner of your windshield to prove to passing policemen that you passed. It was pretty much a given that you'd flunk on headlights if nothing else. There was a service station next door to each inspection station that did a good business adjusting headlights - they had the same equipment that the inspection stations used. I wish the inspection stations were still around. Most modern cars would fail due to overly-bright headlights aimed too high. (Gotta dazzle the oncoming traffic, doncha know - the car ads say it's cool.) When we cross the border into Washington I notice that headlights down there aren't nearly as obnoxious. In fact, the last time I bought a replacement headlamp I noticed that a number of them were marked "Legal in Canada and Mexico only".
