If a thing works, it works. Then corporations realized that doesn’t work to keep growing like a cancer. Queue: Make the old thing bad (by enshittification) or pour billions into ads saying no, this NEW thing is what you need now!

Depends on the thing, and the age of the old thing. I love old cars, but I also recognize that safety and emissions standards and reliability have come a loooong way since even the 1990s.
I really wish emissions/efficiency/reliability restomods became more common. Fuel injection and a modern cat can really improve an old car.
I’m kind of worried what I’ll drive in 20 years time. There aren’t a lot of cars I like that came out after 2005 and I need to find a way to keep stuff running.
