I'm still amazed at how many people I know still think cars are better before because they were "harder to break." Yeah, you can sit on the hood of an old car and it won't do anything to it, but try crashing at 80km/h and you're gonna wish that unbreakable object broke. Anything higher and you might not have a chance to wish for anything. Lol.

Also survivorship bias. A few old cars lasted for a really long time, but you don't see or think about the majority that didn't.
