I guess It's all in how we choose to define; "tits", "premo", "cherry", "bitchin". "nice", "like factory", "new" and now "old", isn't it?? 
Happy trails. 
Yes, these are indeed some of the words people use to describe a positive impression of a vehicle. What is "old" to a teenager? A 5 year old vehicle could be old. When I park my truck at one of my old truck club public functions next to a 'perfect' (my opinion) fully restored '54 Chevy 1/2 ton I receive more questions, attention, requests to sit in the cab, people popping the hood w/o permission, etc. I don't worry about belt buckles, finger prints, dust from a field, etc.
There are some of us who entertain the most difficult decision of the winter... Should I add another coat of wax? or Is my battery tender working well enough to preserve it for the winter? My concerns are those of the daily driver, I checked tire pressure and tread yesterday, changed out the differential gear lube (30k miles) last week. I realize that I put more miles on my truck in one year than my entire 20 member truck club and my preventative maintenance reflects that.
Beauty, it is said, 'is in the eye of the beholder'.
