What a cool brother! I once owned several milk-crates full of vinyl (the LPs fit perfectly in those old plastic milk crates) but sold all those records when I moved to Minnesota in 1995. They were so heavy and took up so much space that they didn't make "the cut" when I was deciding what to bring. It makes total sense that people are clinging more to the analog physical items now with all the changes that are coming in the very near future. I've been dreaming lately about getting a vintage car—in my head I have it narrowed down to either an old 911, a Beetle, or Toyota Land Cruiser. I'm leaning more toward the first two. There's something to be said about things you can fix with your hands. As much as I love my Tesla old cars have so much more soul.
You're right. Given the pace of things changing, it's no wonder. A vintage car sounds like a dream. I see the appeal of working on one yourself, for sure.
And yeah, moving is sure to be a pain with a vinyl collection 🤔
