Disconnect the speedometer and drive it like you stole it!!! Joke! But seriously, enjoy that car. It's just a car.

I don't know where to start.

Cars of yesterday didn't use protective spray on the metal causing most to be so rusted that they need reproduction parts.

Maybe you don't realize it but ore doesn't come out of the ground 100% refined. Recycling metals is no different than resmelting ore.

The youngest 1st generation SC is barely 11 years ago and the oldest barely 19. Most of the current cool classics are vehicles made before the 1973 oil crisis. Simple math tells us that's 38 years ago which means cars from the 90s won't even be considered something until about 2030, almost 20 years from now.
