If you had an obsession with a particular year..

[fleabag]

Let's say someone had an obsession or longing for a particular year, it has meaning to them for what ever reason. You buy things that represent that year, listen to the music of that year, basically the same as a decade obsession except a bit more contained. So anyway I was thinking, if you wanted to buy a car that represented that year, would you buy one made in the year before but has the correct model year or would you buy one made in the desired year but has the next model year. For example if you love the year 1972, would you buy a 1972 model year car made in 1971 or would you buy a 1973 model year car made in 1972?

Wow is this what ATOT has come down to?

You'd buy the official model year regardless of when it was made. You're gonna look like an idiot telling people your 74 Thing is a 73 when they can plainly see that it isn't.

10/10/10 will be pretty awesome.

 

[destrekor]

you buy a 2009 made in 2009.

You know car manufacturers don't just make a car for two months and sell that supply for a whole year, yes? They continue manufacturing that model well into the actual model year.

09/09/09 was my birthday this year. Nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[ahenkel]

I want a lttle douche coupe.

Can VB be configured to disallow fleabag from posting anything automotive related?

 

[Mrvile]

I'm thinking about changing it to 10/10/10 so I can stay classy.

 

[Capt Caveman]

As long as the tires were inflated to side wall max, it wouldn't matter.

Okay, you can have one but remember to keep it under wraps if you drive at night.

Yay i voted with the crowd
DO I FIT IN?

 

[Colt45]

most 72's were made in 72, so ... 72.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'd buy the model of that year, it's easier then trying to explain it was actually made a year earlier.

What I don't get about cars though is why they release a certain year model a year later. For example when they released the "2000" model of a certain car if it actually came out in year 2000 it would of been so much cooler to see them come out, but yet they came out in like early 1999 so seeing a "2000" model car is not all that impressive as it was not even the new millennium yet.

 

[waffleironhead]

as long as the tires are at sidewall, the gas tank is half full of cement and there is no sunroof to kill your mileage, I say go for it. If it comes with a remote start though, that may kill the deal.
