minus-squarerablinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-210 months ago2006 was peak cars. Today, 2006 duramax is the best truck money can buy, and 2006 ls460 is the best car money can buy Source, my dad who ran an auto repair shop for over 50 years I know those are both automatics but just think they would be even better with manuals lol
minus-squaremommykink@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months ago2006? One of the last good years, for sure, but about two decades past the peak.
minus-squarerablinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-210 months agoDepends what you are valuing I guess. But I certainly wouldn’t say 1986 is peak if that’s what you meant… Maybe late 60s. Those cars are amazing. But they aren’t safe, efficient, or very comfortable. Have you ever driven a car with drum brakes?? Serviceability though yeah, those old cars can be fixed at home.
minus-squarerablinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoOh yeah I didn’t consider Volvo. I guess 80s Mercedes turbo diesels are up there too…
