Trying to find meaning in owning an old Mac

My Dad got to middle age and restored a classic car. I got to middle age and following that pattern with a computer instead.

Those are the cars of his youth and for the time, that was the big mainstream technology accessible to people that caused a change in society. First a Ford XY Falcon GT he restored (I think it was a Fairmont he turned into a Phase 3 replica - if you're into Aussie muscle cars, this probably makes sense to you!) He long since sold the Falcon and Pontiac, presumably because cash was tight with two young kids and a mortgage, but he had his fun and I remember both those cars fondly.
