Do you even know what retro means? That's not retro, that's just a classic car. This is retro: [img]http://i.imgur.com/2SDK5.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/5HEgb.jpg[/img]

This is retro: [img]http://i.imgur.com/2SDK5.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/5HEgb.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] A girl once called my CRX "Retro". I called her two black eyes. Kidding, but it was really one of the stupider things I've heard people say.

An old woman called the Volvo 940 I had "retro" :v: [editline]9th February 2012[/editline] It wasn't even old, it was a '94

Whatever, penis, I don't really care. Oh, and By the way, where i live, 75% of the time you hear someone say classic? They mean it was sold before the 90's.

For a car to be classic it must be between 20 and 40 years old. 40+ is "antique". This is actually how any organization dealing with cars views it (DMV, kelly blue book, NADA, anything). "Retro" can refer to [i]any previous time period[/i].

In the UK, classic car status begins at 15 years old. (Just a heads up for when I inevitably end up posting 80's to early 90's cars).

It's 15+ years and $15,000 in value. Otherwise it's before 1973.

So my truck is antique neato.

My Beetle's antique :>

Your mom is antique

My Civic is classic! :D

Our '92 Golf GTI convertible has classic status.
