In a light-hearted post on Reddit, a young driver poked some fun at his Mercedes‘ sedan’s legendary reliability. The German enthusiast titled his post “I f—ed up.” In the sarcastic post he pretended that he regrets his purchase because he wants a new car, but can’t justify one when his old car just won’t quit.

The 26-year-old posted a picture of his vintage Mercedes sedan. For his caption he wrote “i bought this bad boy back when I was 18 and I said to everyone I knew i’ll drive it until it breaks.” Any vintage Mercedes enthusiasts probably know what’s coming next.

The poster continued, “Now I am 26 not broke anymore and still drive a Mercedes that is as old as me without A/C. People hate driving with me in the summer because of this and ask me why I still drive it.” After poking some good-hearted fun at his car, he dropped the punchline. “It just won’t break.”

Obviously, the vintage Mercedes requires some maintenance. But even that is negligible. “A few weeks ago the water pump was leaking and the new replacement part in Germany was 50€ and two hours of my own time to fix it.”

The poster concluded, “There is no way I will buy a new car until I am 35+. I f—ed up.”

Not every commenter caught the sarcasm. One Redditor said, “Sounds like you should fix the a/c and tell people to shut it!”

But the truth is that the original poster absolutely loves his car. His username is even a tribute to his car, “24gasd.” Obviously driving an unrestored old car has trade-offs, such as no A/C in the summertime. But enthusiasts often feel it’s worth it.

The poster isn’t alone. According to Hagerty’s annual “Future of Driving” survey, classic car ownership is on the rise. More Gen Z drivers collect classic cars than Millennials. In fact, luxury vehicles are the one segment that the newest car collectors are increasingly intrigued by. So here’s to hoping the Reddit poster keeps his beloved Mercedes for a long time (though adding a daily driver with working A/C to his fleet wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world).
