Re: "Special" items when converting to 12 volt?

I just read the extensive list of things that need to be replaced to convert to a 12 volt system. I don't mean to offend anyone but I just don't get the the big push to convert. Why spend all that money and effort when what you have will work just fine? I drive a 6 volt pos ground Packard every day with out any problem. The lights light, the starter starts, the charger charges and the pistons, well they work too. Why fix something that isn't broken? There is nothing bad or wrong with 6 volt systems. They work perfectly well. Am I missing something here?
