The pace of vehicle improvements is insane…other than for reason of nostalgia or freedom from surveillance, I wouldnt think of buying even a ten year old car.
Great article! We truly do get so much more. It's amazing how much knowledge improves our lives through innovation. I think it's an exponential line and tech is going to go crazy!
A couple more things that play in this:
How many miles could you drive that 1925 before it died? Vs. the 150K you can easily expect from the 2025?
Also, what about maintenance costs? (tires can go 70K miles now)
That doesn't even cover whether you could even drive the TT on today's freeways
It certainly doesn't cover the payload capacity of the new truck vs. the old.
It's crazy how much better cars are.

Where did you find the slave-hour calculator? Did you make it up or does your family have one? Very interested.
