Not a true multiplier. Cars today all have fuel injection, multiple airbags, air conditioning, power steering, power windows, power brakes, computer monitoring and control systems, power locks, seat belts, sound systems, etc. My next door neighbor has a 1965 Oldsmobile Holiday. When you ride in it and see the steel dashboard, lack of seat belts etc it feels like you are in a death trap. Lots of interior room though.
