BTW, how do you feel about 70 year old MB cars? Outlived their usefulness? Not worth investing in?
Ah, there is where the problem is. You take my answer of "worth investing in" to mean a guarantee of a return. My point is that at 40, the chances of a ROI is higher than at 80 or do you disagree?

I would say they have outlived their usefulness seeing as how the newer units are more efficient and less hassle to maintain.
