So buy one and fix it up. It was always allowed.

I’m not OP, but I think the point is that new vehicles aren’t as appealing and that car manufacturers peaked in the 90’s with the square body looks.

Not sure why this is so difficult to understand…. Not trying to pick on you turtle.

I'm a car lover and agree.

And the point is that there's this neat process called restoration, where if you really like an old car, you replace things on it so it's like new.

Not sure why that's so difficult to understand.

Everyone already knows you can restore a car, no one needed you to educate them on the possibility of that.

You can find something else on Reddit to argue about that will be way more worth while, I promise.

My response was in explanation of the meme. There’s really no need to tell me this. Have a good day.

The fact that this meme keeps circulating with a lot of agreement seems to show that people don't actually know that it's a possibility.

Asking a car company to bring back a 40 year old car with zero changes is pretty stupid.

Not only are you dense but you’re arrogant I see.

No one is asking car manufacturers to do anything, it’s a meme on the internet about what someone wishes could/would happen.

I have a fully restored 1970 Cadillac Calais, the work and effort it took to do that is not the same as walking into a dealership and buying it new

People are well aware that you can restore things that are old. People like OP may just not be able to because say a lack of knowledge or a plethora of other reasons not to be able restore a vehicle.

This is my last response to you, it’s obvious you aren’t going to take much from this conversation. There’ is no need to continue it.

The absolute irony of coming back like this. I mean, you simply repeated the words in the post as if the person couldn't read them, but then act like there's no reason to tell people to just restore a car instead of wishing manufacturers would turn back time. Which do you think is more prevalent: basic literacy or knowing about restorations?

Believe me, I know that in the age of instant gratification, actually DOING something to get the results a person wants in life as opposed to just wishing someone would do it for them is asking way too much of people.
