I hope that car companies who managed to reach 100 years, will reach 1000, as well as those who are still at 80, or younger, can you imagine a future without cars? Without racing? With people traveling in Hyperloops or autonomous eggs on wheels? Can you imagine a future without sports cars?

If this is

(damn it Kinja(I'm talking about the buses and bicycles, hippie vision of the future, picture)) the future, I hope I won't live enough to see it.

I do hope, that when someone will cruise around, in a flying sports car, in the year 3000, that someone will be thankful that we, in the 21st(XXI, for historians) century, didn't abandoned cars.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a conservative, I love progress, but I won't start replacing my forks and spoons with feeding tubes, if I don't have too, just because it seems like a more efficient way to eat.

Like this?

In 1000 years, there will be a whole new set of 'aesthetics' to match with the whole new set of human development. Humans will not stay the same in their needs, wants, and desires as they are now, and the methods of achieving them will become more and more competitive. For example, what seems like a small level of efficiency now (feeding tube VS forks and knives) could be a huge issue with efficiency in another system, one that we may move toward.

It's easy to imagine a world without cars, but it's hard to imagine a world without cars that also lacks extreme social advancement. The same can be said about guns, oil, face-to-face interaction, etc. the biological response we have to the "art" of driving and automobile culture can be found elsewhere.

Look how far cars have come in 100 years. From wooden wheels, and hand cranks. I've always wondered what it will be like in another hundred years. Will that guy with a 1960's muscle car have go across state to the one place that still sells gasoline, and pay $25 a gallon? Will restomod mean putting an all electric drivetrain in your once gas powered vehicle? Will we be asking did you go with bias plies, radials, or retro looking airless tires on it? Only time will tell...
