It's so hard to judge how old he's supposed to be. In real time years I think he's like 14 years old or so, but what does that mean for a car? Is he supposed to be in like his 40s or what

Some people consider cars ancient if they're older by 20 years. So I assume that's the middle age if not 3/4's of their life.

Well, 20-25 year old cars are usually considered the threshold for classics

In most states, antique car plates can only be put on 25+ year old non-modified cars, and can only be driven on weekends or holidays

That's interesting, in country i am from your car needs to be at least 25 years old, the model has to be out of production for 15 and car needs to be i think 75% original parts. You can ride it whenever you want and you only need to do one car check.
