Give it 5 years and cops will just phone in your license plate number and the manufacturer will turn your car off. Or, more realistically, lock the doors and self-drive you to the nearest police station.
LOL a Boomer would never drive a drift car featured in a Fast and Furious film. The 350Z is pure Millennial energy. Just look at this Asian beauty and try to tell me with a straight face that you could picture a 65-year-old driving it:
I’m making fun of you because you sound stupid. It’s actually insane you’re this naive. Probably related to having your identity wrapped up in a fucking car in 2025.
You can fabricate basically any part for a 70s era car with a pretty basic machine shop, 2000s become a bit more tricky with the electronics and how much more packed in everything is in there.
Question: If displacements got so much smaller over the the last 50 years, why are engines so much bigger? Used to be able to reach in and access anything, now every inch is full of engine.
there are a few in my country. none of them are practical to daily in 2025 except maybe for the vw beetle, and even then its gonna be quite annoying and expensive to run.
60s-70s cars are vintage toys. 2000s cars will eventually be impractical too seeing as entropy exists and we are phasing out petrol too.
we have to take control and address how they make new cars else we are just pushing the problem further instead of solving it.
In two years it’ll legally be considered a classic, so I’m taking good care of it. The 350Z is a very popular, well known JDM sports car. Parts are abundant.
Cars will last forever if you stay on top of maintenance and don’t live in an area where rust is a problem (I don’t). Even then, you’d be surprised what a restoration shop can pull off. Assuming I don’t crash it, I plan on keeping this car for the rest of my life. I’ll eventually get a used EV once they become affordable and keep the Z as a weekend cruiser. I hardly drive anyway to keep the miles down. Usually just take the bus to work.
every car in my country has aftermarket parts available, that’s not really the defining factor. old cars get progressively worse to maintain unless you spend a small fortune to restore it and even then.
supply and demand is irrelevant whenever they forbid you from running an old “gas guzzler”, or do cash for clunkers again to restrict supply. or insurance stops liking cars without tracking. or just about anything to curb it…
as i said we have to address how new stuff is made or we will just be pushing the problem to the future, not actually solving it.

Joke’s on them; I drive a 20-year-old car (350Z Roadster Touring 6MT in Daytona Blue)
Well… might be that the joke is on you, as the thieves would target your car in that hypothetical.
Yeah but I live in the US. A manual transmission alone is top tier anti-theft.
Goddamn, incredible boomer energy here.

The car’s make and model were not part of my calculus. It was the instantaneous invocation of one’s vehicle. It’s bizzare.
Well that sounds like a you problem lol
I’m a car enthusiast; what do you want from me? 😂
I want you to know that you sound like a boomer.
And I want you to know that I don’t understand what your point is. So fucking what? Why do you care what I sound like? How old are you?

cars don’t last forever and cars from the 2000s will stop being a feasible option eventually
Exactly! There aren’t any cars from the 60s-70s on the road… Oh wait

ABS, air conditioning, power steering, all the computers and electrics, and don’t get me started on intercooled turbo engines.
There’s a lot more extra stuff besides the engine now.
and more compact engine compartments in favor of bigger cabins.

that’s very optimistic. and ends up with you getting a modern car anyway.
Whatever you say, @lemmy.ml. You’ve probably never even owned a car.
i just figured out why your point is kind of dumb.
i’m gonna guess you are just a chud with a mad max fantasy.
With aftermarket parts they can. The demand for parts to keep older cars running will increase as new cars get shittier and shittier.
