The world's population is growing. Even if everyone's grandfathers had a magic car that lasted forever, what you describe wouldn't work for everyone.

Hi, my apologies, just got to your message. Implicit was my assumption that cars will be outlawed ~10 years from now, meaning we have every car that we need today. “Grandfather” was shorthand for “grandfathered in”

> “Grandfather” was shorthand for “grandfathered in”

In the sentence "I drive my grandfathers old car and I think most people have at least 2 grandfathers"?
