Car in the 90s: .... door doesn't close securely anymore ... the windshield is cracked ... the brakes don't work sometimes ... the transmission is slipping ... the engine is misfiring ... the alternator doesn't work anymore ... the coolant is way below the add mark ... steering fluid is almost empty ... you have no more headlights ... the rear trunk door has fallen off ... CAR IS STILL DRIVEABLE

Car in 2020s: ... The car is all in one piece (it may even be brand new) ... one random system trouble light ... alarm goes off at regular intervals to annoy you to the point of taking it to a mechanic.

    Windshield wiper fluid low is so obtrusive. It warms you next to the odometer as a message pop-up instead of a light, other things have lights, why doesn't it? Know what's worse? It also pops up multiple times on the dashboard touch screen blocking you from seeing your navigation while driving. At least I know I'm low on wiper fluid!

    It's like all of the annoying assholes we knew growing up somehow managed to get into decision making positions at all the major corporations. It's so common now for designs to be absolutely completely fucking terrible. Constant nagging and annoyances. Fuck off already! I'm living my life, stop trying to live it for me.

    I ended up buying in bulk 6 gallons of wiper fluid. My solution is to always have extra now lol. My last car I'd run on low for a year, this one I filled it twice just this summer!

    Oh man, I forgot about the doors that don’t close properly. You knew it was going to be a fun ride when you got in one with a bungee cord holding it shut.

    Lol .... I grew up for a few years on a native reserve in northern Ontario ... I remember driving around in trucks without doors

    On one drive with my friends as young teens ... I was 13 going on joy ride ... as we tore through town, the front hood flipped open and onto the windshield ... while we going fast on a narrow gravel roadway ... it's one of those moments where you go from sheer joy to absolute terror in a heart beat.

    I've been in a lot of shitty vehicles in my life and we learned how to make things work ... as long as it had pistons and a carburetor, we could get it to run.
