What's wrong with plastic body panels? They're objectively fantastic.
>don't rust
>dents can be pulled without having to repaint (some plastic bumpers, depends on dent as well)
>light as all fuck

Im so sorry dear

>>17171436
I hate people who think "meme" is a recent invention or associate it with those goddamn facebook videos or normalfag shit like that. It has a proper definition and it's not "text overlaid on an image."

>>17168690

Weren't loaded with a bunch of superfluous or unnecessary features that do nothing but drive the price point up and introduce additional points of failure.

>>17174217
There's always the base model, but then you'll get accused of being poor

>>17168690
fixable.

>>17173973
No. Cars peaked around 2004-2006. Thats around the time when makers went full fucking Orwell and started making everything electronic. Not just some panels and sensors, everything. Every car made past that can be hacked and used to murder you. Do modern car automatic shifters even physically connect to the transmissions anymore?

>>17174230

Even the base model of most "nicer" cars now include a bunch of stupid bullshit that I don't want OR need. Most of the time to get the larger engine or some other mechanical aspect you need to get the higher trim, which includes an immense amount of extra crap.

It's just unnecessary. Cramming a bunch of useless crap like vacuum operated locks and automatic climate control into is what has made my '84 380SL such a pain in the ass, and the trend has just gotten worse with every passing year.

still driving on the ground with gasoline engines.

Built by white Americans. Then the goddamn niggers took over Detroit. Go there now, noone is working, nobody builds cars. Just a bunch of goddamn porch monkeys living for free in the city that was once the Paris of the Midwest

Back in my day cars were...

-Running in 6V everywhere, from frontlight to... rear light. (actually back in the day we only used electricity for the lights, no fancy shit)

-A privilege, not every nigger could afford a shitbox to move to work. There was plenty of space on the roads and we never invented the word traffic jam.

-Built to last, at least we would think to change the car after 10 or 20 years of daily use.

-Drinking a fuel called "super" how cool is that.

-made in the country where i live. And in other country, they also made their own cars. How genious is that for the economy?

-You could adjust almost any pannel of the body with , a hammer. try doing that on a BASF plastic shit modern car.

-having fancy colours, today normies get grey white or black cars, car enthousiasts red cars and... that's it. Where are the nice paintjob done?

-Chrome was not a paint airbrushed on a plastic bumper. It was a real solid work and kept looking good for decades.

-way more lighter, we could climb anywhere in winter with thin tires even with heavy snow.

-you could start the engine by rotating it with a removable bar of metal on the front with your own hands.

-by the night, everything turned yellow on the streets, comfy af.

don't call nostalgia on me, but i think our grandfathers had it better back in the day.

Agreed. Old fag here. I was there driving those pieces of shit in the 80's. Absolute shit. Take a look at the hp in this article. And laugh.

>Cars peaked around 2004-2006.

Shittily made, slow and un-reliable death traps that were made "easy to work on" because you had to, often, or else it would never work.
