[Porsche-O-Phile]

As with so many other things - furniture, houses, appliances, cars, musical instruments, aircraft, etc. - the new stuff is way-more-often-than-not total junk compared to the stuff built "back when".

"Back when", stuff was made to last, by craftsmen. Today, stuff is made for a throwaway society with built-in planned obsolescence, usually by the cheapest (Chinese) labor using the cheapest materials. Any longevity or durability is an unintended incidental benefit at best.

With very few exceptions.

Our world used to value quality. Now we only value quantity and whatever we can get cheaply.

You get what you pay for.
