Actually, no, not crazy at all.
My wife's 2011 Mustang has NO grease joints. They're all "sealed units." Ball joints, tie rod ends, everything. The transmission doesn't have a dipstick, as it too, is a "sealed unit."
I was at a car show and a little kid asked his dad why there were two door handles on the door. His dad had to explain that one was a door handle and the other was a window crank. Kid has only been in "modern" cars with power windows and locks.
There are people that don't understand what a 3rd pedal is for...
I can't buy parts for my C10 or mustang anymore over the counter (aside from brake pads/shoes, plugs/wires/cap/rotor) I've had to order just about everything else. Balancer, water pump, rad. hoses, timing set, etc... that was for the 65, the 350's been around A LOT longer, and much more recent than a 289 so it may have more stuff on the shelf. Of course they can all "get it to me the next day" but my point of being able to walk in and get typical wear parts for classics is all but gone
