I would've even said they were older, it looks like a 1991-1993 kind of car where the 80s boxy look was still sticking around just a little.

We are in a bottleneck in terms of car tech so a 2000 impreza wrx isnt that far away from a current year one
Its just that its atleast 30% cooler and less shit
Im afraid that in few years only non pozzed car will be a caterham

The Zonda started in '99, which makes it 26 years old. Put some LED Retina Blaster™ bulbs in, and you could convince me it was built yesterday.

Crossovers aged so well it's kinda impressive, you look at the first Acura MDX, the Lexus RX were a big deal because they're still the rage 20+ years later.
>>28610028
Cheatcode: if a vehicle's styling hasn't changed much over the years, the old models will still look decent. Picrel is a 1990. Comparatively, a 1990 3 Series looks utterly ancient.

The issue there is that a 2020's G wagon doesn't look modern, it just looks like a retromod. The idea is to find an old car that looks modern, not a modern car that looks old.
>>28610093
Eh. The old G-Classes still hold up relatively well and look respectable. They don't have that shitty cheap look a lot of other vehicles have from that era. The E30 on the other really looks like a junker by modern standards. Besides the badge most normies wouldn't see it any differently to a '79 Jetta.
>>28609039
Listening to what this guy has to go through to keep his E39 running is really eye opening. His wheels for example literally can't be fixed because there are no replacements. I think he bought the car for like $15k and he's spent over $100k in five years just keeping it going...

I was born 3 years before my dad bought his first new car, a 1967 Plymouth Fury. My favorite of his was the powder blue 1976 Newport Custom. He dropped us off to school on his way to work in it. In the 80s I returned the favor while his eyesight, but not his intellect, failed.

The average age of a car on the road is about 12 years
90s and early 2000s are
Even if we're very generous and say the standard deviation is half the average, 6 years, then only 15% of cars on the road are from the early 2000s or earlier
We can estimate, and say that only something like 3% of cars are from the 90s and earlier

Fug I drive car that was registered when I was 11 and my memories of 2002 are spotty but it's very weird. Can remember it being start of my final year at primary school plus a few videogames I had back then so it feels very weird that my current car began life then.
>>28610042
It looks like a late 2000s car, but if it's from 1999, then that is really impressive.
>>28610051
Audi is extremely conservative in their vehicle designs, so they really don't change in design much when a new car comes out. If something never really changes, it becomes somewhat timeless as it remains familiar and only slightly different. Pretty smart really.
>>28610392
Why does everyone's memories only go back to when they were, like, ten?
Mine go back reliably to two years of age. Mind you that was when I nearly drowned and I'm an autistic loser so maybe that has something to do with it but literally nobody I know can remember the first half of their childhood.
I honestly wish I could say the same.
>>28611340
There are entire years of my adulthood where nothing happened, so ironically 2002 is actually more memorable than I realise. 2017 was between my university and employment periods, the only thing I remember that year is that I had a root canal done (it broke the next year anyway and a crown was put in).

We are closer to 2040 than to 2010 even
Or, in other words, in less than the time from 2010 to now in the future we will be extinct if the happening doesn't happen

Genetic and intelligence thing.
My boomer dad remembers being like 3 and seeing a black person for the first time. He tried giving dad's family directions but instead it came out as incomprehensible jive.
He got all the good genes, his siblings are all varying levels of retarded unfortunately.

Until two years ago, I drove the 1990 K5 Blazer my mom got new in November of '89. I was almost 2 when she got it, I have dim memories of the '79 Monte Carlo she had before the K5. Had to sell it in '21 years ago when money got tight after I lost my job due to covid bullshit. I miss that truck, all my childhood memories of going on trips involved it, but at least I got enough to keep the house paid while I found work.
