I literally don't understand why people like old cars. They're objectively shit in every way compared to more modern cars, especially in the styling department. It's like they let retards design every car until the 70s.

I literally don't understand why people like manuals. They're objectively shit in every way compared to more modern automatics, especially in the performance department. It's like they let retards buy manuals until current year.

>HURR I LIKE BIG FAT A PILLARS FUCK VISIBILITY AMIRITE

people enjoy old cars because they weren't filled with useless bullshit that didn't improve driving experience.

if a car was heavy as fuck, it probably had a fuckhuge engine and a strong chassis, but today every car is pigfat with a puny engine and 3 tons of fucking safety equipment because the typical consumer is not competent enough to drive safely.

>>16119269
That's not true, also, that's a second series e30 pictured, and also also, the e30 is relatively modern, barely even old enough to be "classic"
Look at an 02 series and tell me it looks good.

A modern sports car will trash any classic sports car in its class, and look good doing it. In fact, modern cars can probably walk classic cars a class above them, that's how much better they are nowadays.

Chevy and Ford from those years literally can't compete.

>>16119249
I don't even know how i would answer to such a dumb statement in the real world. Sure, modern cars may look fresher, but they look so much more boring. It's like the only people who can still somewhat design properly are Mazda, and even then i'm scared to shit they'll ruin the upcoming RX.

Also i dislike modern interiors being absolutely filled to the brim with useless buttons for everything from the seat warmer to the ecoboost, also the fuckhueg screen from the entertainment system, that probably doesn't even have a separate can-bus and therefore is a security issue, because some nerd could quite literally hack your car and kill you.

Serious question. Who is going to taje care of the Delages, Delahayes, Auburns, pre-war Cadillacs and pre-war Bugattis of the world.

I don't see any millennials taking up the flag outside of a few Silicon Valley millionaires/billionaires.

Do millennials even know these exist? Or is this the next of many aspects of car culture ready to die?

The thing with old cars is they were almost 100% original styling up until early 70's, and not just for an expensive car, but for you average family mobile. Now yes there are unique cars today, but most of them are high end and when it comes to an average family car today, they all look relatively to same. Now look at pic related, its a modern 2013-2016 truck with the hood and bed of a mid to late 50's, Is that not totally out of place, original or unique? It greatly shows how different and more elegant the middle class car was back then. And yeah that truck looks like shit but it was a great way to show the concept.

They're the only ones who would have the resources to purchase and maintain any of the pre-war "super cars".

There is no aftermarket, everyone who would have serviced them is either dead or senile and they were never made in big numbers. If you liken them to something modern it's like a Murcielago or Veyron- they were rich peoples toys in their era and remain that way.

the craft lives on. Internal combustion engines principals remain the same. and many are learning the actual skills of the trade. Welding, body craft, true engine building. As opposed to assembling and tuning for boost on e85

>not liking classic cars
Anon, it's okay to like normal cars that are recent or current. But if you ever want a fun car, unless you're making over a hundred grand a year, you're gonna be driving a classic. Or one of them GT-86es or the equivalents.

And honestly, you don't need to get caught up in the consumerist trap of only buying new things. It's all just a ploy to get you to spend money on shit you don't actually care about, to impress people you don't like.

And most of the companies you're buying from are producing shitty cars in third world countries. On the political level, you're supporting their actions which have taken jobs from thousands of people in not shitty countries. Just so they can pad their profit margin.

I'll be glad when the self driving car kills these companies. Even if it kills automotive hobbyism.

Apart from having very flat proportions it's not all that aesthetic. If it were shorter and narrower like a European classic it would look utterly ridiculous.
