to my countrymen, a car is like wine, the older the better, bonus points if it was owned by a German Turk before and smells like kebab spice inside and has 50k km on the counter (in real life 500k)

The retailers, parts of the government that get bribes from the retailers and greens continuously seethe that most of our cars are older than 15 years, and say it's bad for the enviroment. The reason the cars are old is because no one has any fucking money to buy a new hybrid.

maybe not, but if it did you would be stuck there can you afford that? i just causally crawled under the car, engaged 4th gear and drove home. its a ziptie fix once i bother but if i had to i could do more jobs this way.
cant do that in a new car.

Here it's the opposite.
New cars need inspection yearly.
Old cars (30 years) only every two years.
Veteran cars (50 years) need no inspection at all.
>>213768906
Not really. You have inspections every 2 years. If it passes it passes. They check brakes and look at corosive parts. If you keep your car tidy, it can also be 50 years old. You can let your car repair by yourself or you neighbor who knows how to repair cars.

we have yearly inspections too but mechanics are a bit more lenient so they rarely check smoke and emissions, they are annoying about rust though
My car is 36 years old luxury convertible. I got it as a joke while working remotely, now I have to drive all around town with it. I need a Corolla or something boring but 2 poor
