Each to their own, but I'll add my 2 cents to this never ending old vs. new cars debate you see on this site now and then - The truth is both have pros and cons. New - better safety, security, arguably better/easier to drive, but high purchase price, and usually called ugly compared to outgoing models. Old - more for your money, still can keep up with modern cars in terms of performance, but not quite as safe as modern cars, maybe need a few repairs now and then. I have to come down in favour of used cars every time though; find a nice serviced example, looked after from any era, and it will serve you well and work out cheaper than a new car in the long run.
Incidentally, in my humble opinion again of course, cars from the 90s like the Toyota Camry and so on, were the best time for cars. Any older than the 90s and you have economy and reliability issues on a lot of cars, and any car made after the year 2000 seems to be plagued with electronic flaws. So the 1990s was a balanced time, and it's still feasible to drive a car from that era as an everyday driver.

Some people have an agenda or for whatever reason like to rain on other people's parade. Personally I wish everyone loved their cars as much as I do. We all have a choice or personal preference. Someone we don't know or likely never will in person is not affecting my family. We worked really hard for ours. Be proud of what you own and to have the capability to have them! He may not like that my domestic taillights are off by an incredible 3/16" of an inch. It's happened on some and so what! Must be tough living that way.
