Bonus: If it's old enough and you get into a collision, your car will be fine and just tear through the other one like a hot knife through butter.
That is painfully untrue. Check out this video of an old Bel Air vs an 09 Malibu. Both cars get fucked up, but only one of those drivers has any chance of walking away from the accident, and it's sure as fuck not the one in the classic. https://youtube.com/watch?v=fPF4fBGNK0U&si=zJ7tDE4RrMWlaCOt
Clearly that car isn't old enough.
Try this one:
Ah shit, you got me. That front stone wheel alone probably weighs as much as a modern sedan.
Nah, newer cars are much bigger than mine, I'm pretty sure they'll tear through me regardless.
