I commented on a motorcycle thread a few days ago where the poster said "bike from 1982, over forty years old" (or something to that effect) where I had to do the math and realize... Shit... That was forty years ago.
Someone recently told me they bought a "vintage truck". I asked them what year the truck was made, expecting something from the 60's or so....but apparently 1985 is vintage now. 😟
I will refuse to call most cars made in the 80s or later "vintage" even though that's the technically correct word. "Garbage", yes. It's just not the same when it's just a shitbox full of dry-rotting composites and plastics. Older cars were something you wanted to keep around. Modern "old" cars are something you're embarrassed to be driving around in.
