    Personally one of my cars is a 93, and the other is a 00. Both are DDed half of the year depending on the weather. But, I'm an ethusiast so not exactly the norm. In rural areas (read lower income) it's not uncommon to see late 80s

    Thank you for the honest feedback. I mostly came up with the title as a funny way to open the post, but I do agree I've been too hard on myself. My decision to leave the field may have been brash, but living in an area with little tech
