I, on the other hand, tend to keep my cars longer. One of my daily drivers is an '85 Euro e24 M635CSI and I still have my '73 2002Tii Roundie, which was the 1st brand new BMW I bought.

Although I admire and respect the technology and efficiency of the new cars, I still prefer the older models for sheer driving pleasure.
I 100% agree with you on this...
My only concern with some of the older cars I have owned, is that although there is a certain flare to them that can't be replicated in modern cars. I worry about getting into an accident with a Escalade. When I was younger this wasn't a huge concern. Now, I have mouths to feed and responsibilities. So the motorcycles and the MG roadsters are not gonna happen.
