The true German-made Opels sold by Buick prior to 1976 had much better styling, and much better music... is that a Hammond B3 organ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOtH8dtqzNo

I remember being taught the basics of cars and engines in elementary school science class, maybe in 5th grade? The book we used must've been written in the 1970s, because its default car had a carbureted V8 engine and rear-wheel drive, and it presented rotary/Wankel engines as a new development. Our teacher was amused that some of the then-current econoboxes like the Geo Metro had a 3-cylinder engine.

The proliferation of fake buttons, knobs, headshell screws, tape reels, and component feet on cheap '80s and '90s stereo systems make them look AI-generated even when they're not. They're both the result of copying the design language of real components without understanding what all the pieces do and how they're supposed to fit together.

This fits with most of the people I see using AI-generated images or thumbnails being old enough to have used VHS tape and Mavica floppy disk cameras. Younger people who grew up when HD video and multi-megapixel photos were the norm are better at spotting the slop.

Malaise-era GM thought it was a good idea to use the Opel name from Germany, to sell cars made in Japan by Isuzu, at Buick dealers in the USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npGqHqiTBXs
