We have two type of people when it comes to cars; and its not just related to Pakistan, its worldwide. both are equally passionate about cars but one prefers the latest cars and other wants to stick to the classic version of the same. The lover of new car might call old one "teen dabba" while the classic car lover would say; "everyone can buy a new car; it takes taste to maintain a classic"
Every car goes through the process of aging and by the time changed the car manufacturers keep adding more and more to what is already being offered because the new car buyer needs something new to buy. A lot of R & D is done and all the car manufacturers love the new car buyer because it is him they all want not the one who loves his classic and is sticking to it.
Your typical old car lover despite if they can afford a new car would prefer to stick to the classic because they believe the following:
- New cars are too round (aerodynamics)
- The sound of engine feels right
- New cars aren't as solid as they used to be (debatable)
- Their car holds some emotional value
- When a 50 year old guy buys a 25 year old car then it holds nostalgic value as how he wanted to keep a certain car when he could not afford it and thus he feels young again; goes back in time to how he once was.
When someone prefers a new car over an old car then their reasons are following
- They want to move with time
- They want a car which is hassle free and don't involve frequent visits to the mechanic
- They love the luxury offered in new cars
- They believe the safety features of a new car will help them survive in a safer ride
Whether you like old car or new; you are right in what you do and keep doing what you do; because we love to see the shinning & maintained old cars on the roads as well as we want the technology to progress so its important that new cars keep coming out.
Just one guy's opinion
