it's close to 20 years old

It's old, not retro. A PT Cruiser was retro when new. Now, of course, it's just old.

I'm okay with that. I based it on Forza car classifications and originally it was about programming. Post-Y2K/dot com bust and post-cryptocurrency were the original closing categories.

When you're talking about collectibles, "vintage" is anything older then 20 years.

Postage stamps are collectible, and any less than 100 years old are "current".

i grew up in ohio and they only had one big state run grocery called Food and it was the only place to get “sundries”. i didnt think it was strange at the time that everything had black packaging with white impact labeling until i was smuggled out past the border guards into the indiana territory and saw brands at a walmart. i discuss this often in my ohio survivors group therapy sessions

My uncle was executed for smuggling in some genuine Pepsi Cola from the Detroit settlement.

It wasn’t very good, I didn’t finish my can. RIP Larry

Piggly wiggly was the first modern grocery store. The idea that the customer walks in browses aisles, picks up items in a cart or basket, then goes to a checkout…

That’s piggly wiggly. Before piggly wiggly you hand a clerk your list and they got the items for you.

Now I hand them that list online and a gig economy driver brings them to my house. Time is a flat circle.

According to the british government a "classic" car is 40 years old and subject to less stringent mot standards. This means now cars made in 1993 are apparantly classic. In 8 years a car made during 9/11 will be a classic. Kinda terrifying.

Do you believe that 1993 was 40 years ago? Or perhaps more intuitively that in 2031, it will be 40 years since 2001?
