John-

Agreed! I smoke pipes, use fountain pens and routinely wear mechanical watches.

I may waste a bit of time loading and tamping my pipes, spill a bit of ink now and again, I might not be tracking atomic time, and I'll happily miss a bird or two by forgetting to cock back a hammer.

However, while I am not opposed to walking, I haven't yet taken up the classic English car (with Lucas electronics) for transportation!

A life without quality is not nearly as rich or well lived.
