It’s Not the Car, It’s You
People often think that items back in the day were built better and were more durable, whether it was refrigerators, cars, or even clothes. While this may be the case with some things, it’s not always a correct assumption. Modern technology has its advantages, and often, modern cars may be even more advanced than older models.
This person suggests that the reason why people tend to think that older cars were built better is because people treated their cars better. There’s some truth to it. It feels like people back in the day took better care of their belongings, perhaps because they saw them as irreplaceable. Today, we’re so used to replacing our gadgets every couple of years that we may unconsciously treat them poorly.
