    I think it was China who is attempting to keep their economy strong by penalizing owners of older cars. Cars before 2013 do not meet their current

    To be fair, you probably wouldn't want a Chinese car older than 2013 :). Part of their motivation I bet is image.

    japan does something similar. second hand japanese cars in perfect condition are easily available even in the US, but definitely in AUS & NZ

    As it stands, society is structured around the idea that you *WILL*
    bbando
    old working machinery, and if you don't, you *WILL* be villanized.

    Do you REALLY get villainized or do you just feel that way? I have and use a lot of old things.. I think at the most I get awkward smiles when people
    augh
    to themselves that I'm using those old things, but I don't feel "villainized" per se.

    Maybe I just don't care much what other people think.

    I think it depends on what old things you are using. I think Arelor meant specifically gas-powered old things. Based on various government
    initiatives here over the years, I would have to say he is right. Some
    will certainly villianize you over holding onto your classic car, for
    example.
