7:56 also survivor bias. You don't see the millions of older cars anymore because they broke and crushed. So you just see the ones people looked after.

7:56 Another thing to consider is survivorship bias. The adage of "things are not built like they used to" often evokes this bias when in reality the surviving technology makes up a tiny fraction of the total.
That said, I do agree that modern cars are nearly impossible to maintenance yourself due to increasing complexity and increasing complexity can result in more ways for things to go wrong.

Finally, an honest assessment of the longevity of vintage cars. The '70s are an ideal time for long lived cars as many low-maintenance components were introduced. Electronic ignition, reliable drivetrains, and many other refinements were standardized throughout the 1970s. The plastics in modern cars are short-lived and the computer modules are overcomplicated and not robust enough to last. Old cars just keep going with basic maintenance and occasional small repairs with basic hand tools
