This is why I prefer buying 15+ year old cars, you know everything that's wrong with them. OK, it just so happens that three cars I've owned has been over 15 years old when I bought them, but I haven't heard a good car analogy in a while.

Modern cars are far more efficient, performant and easier to drive than a 15 year one. Just like modern web apps are far more scalable, highly-available, secure and performant then they were 15 years ago.

    Agreed. I once owned a 30 year old two stroke moped. It was very easy to fix. In fact I fixed it almost every week.

    It's easier to not have to fix new cars.

    It's also much easier to die in 15+ years old car.

  Yes, we just replaced our eleven year old car with a three year old. The same make and model and our fuel bill dropped by 25%. This is nearly half the cost of the car over the period we will own it.

  >Modern cars are far more efficient, performant and easier to drive than a 15 year one Can you clarify what being "easier to drive" means?
