Why older cars are a waste of time and money (anything pre-90's)

Rust (your car is literally becoming non existant)
Inferior power and acceleration
Hard to find parts that can be expensive
Weird tools to work with
Inferior electronics

If you read the books I guess it makes it way better, the character development is too shallow because of time on TV.

If you already know what they're thinking and feeling, it gets better, but no surprises... everything's spoiled

Quoted By:

>Rust
VERY small sections of rust, essentially unnoticeable. You couldn't expect a 34 year-old car to be rust-free. It's essentially in near-perfect condition.
>Inferior power and acceleration
It'll do 200km/h top speed. It may not get up to speed that quickly, but it weighs almost 2 tons. Speed isn't the point of this car, anyway.
>Hard to find parts that can be expensive.
I have an older 280SE in my shed that is rusting out, but has a perfect engine. I don't need to pay anything for spare parts. Besides, my current 280SE has a reconditioned engine, has done 40,000km on it. I'm set for a few years more.
>Weird tools to work with.
I've never thought so.
>Inferior electronics.
It had an iPod/CD/MP3 player with Bluetooth when I got it, plus new speakers. That's all I need.

Not if you're Australian, all our falcons/Commodores have the same parts for the same like 15/20 years.

Rust (your car is literally becoming non existant)
>True for mine, floorboards are slowly disappearing, but that's all

Inferior power and acceleration
>HAHA, 350 with a few mods is definitely NOT inferior power. Acceleration does suck though, as it's a fucking truck.

Hard to find parts that can be expensive
>Lol nope, pretty much the most common truck at the junkyard. Plus all motor parts are common as shit.

Weird tools to work with
>If a set of SAE wrenches is weird, then yes.
