Got me to thinking. I'd love to have a spreadsheet with the attrition rate of different cars on the road -- the number of a particular type of car that's still licensed, expressed as a percentage of the number originally bought.

It does not make sense. Car population is going up yearly. W123 population is depleting due to old age or rust. How can the % be going up? You perceive it is going up because you notice them more.
There is more important things to think about in this world.
