Back in my younger days, I often drove outdated cars. These were basically older or discontinued models, like the once-common Santana 2000, with technology lagging behind by over a decade. They were simple to drive without electronic distractions, offering a raw driving experience, but had many downsides: scarce repair parts requiring hunting for workshops, terrifying fuel consumption and environmental non-compliance, laughably poor safety systems with barely any airbags. Looking back now, taking them on long trips meant carrying a bunch of tools to prevent breakdowns, and occasional bumpy roads made for an uncomfortable ride. Not suitable for daily use but full of nostalgia, properly restored they could become collectibles.
