Volvo once had an ad that claimed the average Volvo lasts 17.5 years.

Europeans truly invest in their cars.

My grandfather would buy a new car every two years.

The problem is, with so much complexity engineered in new cars, I don't see how they can hold up longer than ten years.

But watch: someone will try to pass a law in this country where a car over ten years old will be deemed unsafe or not economical and thus it will have to be taken off the road.

Don't think it might not happen.

As for our old Porsches, easily any state might make it so our old cars can no longer be registered.

I wouldn't put such a law past California.
