We don't think cars of the 90's are that old, but back in HS, a '65 something was old. I have a '73 GTV now that would be the relatively a mid 40's car in HS. For sure, that was an OLD car back then.

In 1982, my dad bought a 1959 Austin Healey. It was a classic car, even then, at 23 years old. He never would have thought of daily driving any car that old.

In 2010, my dad bought a 1995 BMW. He drove that car for 3 more years, sold it at 18 years old. His brother is still driving it today, and I might buy it back. Nobody would ever blink an eye at it.

It is astounding how far cars have come. Our 1991 E30 has power steering, heated seats, AC, airbags, and it took about 10 minutes to install a CD player with auxilury hookup. That is a 24 year old car that is every bit a classic now--but if it wasn't for the "vintage" shape of the objects, you would never know!

I own Black Sabbath Vol 4 on original vinyl. I have no way to play it.

Panic at The Disco for Toyota Avalon? It's only a matter of time before my generation has their version of the Rolling Stones shilling an empty nester near minivan mobile.
