115 years, 35 years. Doesn't matter. Nobody is comparing the tech and features of 35 year old cars to today's cars when discussing how much cars cost. The tech in a modern car is far more advanced than the tech in a 35 year old car. By your logic a modern car should cost as much as a house?
35 years ago cell phones were terrible. Today's phones are like magic compared to phones from 1989. By your logic today's phones should cost tens of thousands of dollars?
Makes no sense.
