Can An Old Car Be More Fun Than A New One?

    It's pretty obvious that different people have different opinions. I mean, it happens all the time. But, there are some scenarios where one opinions are literally correct, and others aren't. But here's a question that's a bit of both: can an old car be better than a new one? And of course, this completely depends on one's opinion, but also can be a little fact-or-fiction. For example, the soon-to-be-deceased (sadly) Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was very popular among many different types of rich people, from middle-Eastern oil sheiks, Russian oligarchs, and even your average Beverly Hills resident. But, there are some car enthusiasts who strongly prefer an original 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL to the SLS, and have even bought one for themselves. But, keep in mind that the SLS's base price was a mere $201,500 (compared to the 300SL, that is), where as a 300SL sells for over $1,000,000! I find that massive difference in price to be a little crazy, and it doesn't make the 300SL seem like a good deal, considering that the SLS is more comfortable, more reliable, more practical, is faster, and is far, FAR cheaper. But that's not the only combination of new and old. There's also the Porsche 356 and 911, the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser and S600, the Jaguar E-Type and F-Type, and so on. In fact, a lot of car icons now did have 1940s-1970s counterparts, but it still remains a decision of choice, so who cares if you buy one or the other? It's completely your decision.
