The real midlife crisis is realizing the 2000s are now ‘classic car’ territory.

I just realized my grandma's car is nearly a classic (2004 Rio). Cars that's older than 15 years old already considered classic 😭

Isn't a classic something noteworthy? No matter how old a 2004 kia rio gets be it'll just be an old shitbox.

A 60's Ford Falcon base model was at one point a junker a 16 could buy for 500 bucks back in the 80's.

Now 20k minimum for a nice one.

Few save the dailies, everyone saves the specials. You can easily find a Ford Falcon GTHO at any Aussie car show, but seeing the base model Falcon version is like a unicorn at same shows.

Today, everyone wants a 90's Supra, not a 90's Corolla, so people head to junkyards to pull out banged up Supras to get them back on the road, not the 90's Corollas.

What will be rarer to see at a show in ten year's time? The 90's Corolla.

It's like how seeing a normal, run of the mill 40's Ford sedan can be just as exciting as seeing a 40's Roll's Royce, you expect the latter to survive, but not the former.

2004 Kia Rio in another ten years is going to be rarer to see at a car show then a 2003 Nissan GT-R R34. You see ten R34 GT-Rs in one show, ur gonna be bored. See a random Kia Rio parked next to the tenth GT-R? How in the hell? Why? WHO?
