You know, I was just bringing up this point with my wife the other day. My car is 8 years old, and it needs some new suspension parts.
My first car was an 8 year old 74 Capri. The body was rusted through, all of the front suspension and steering linkages had lost their dust boots and were subsequently shot, and the drive shaft u-joints were bad, as well. The seats were cracked, too.
Nothing old about these cars.
Function before fashion.
