I think there are several issues in play. Driving an old car means that you are able to fix it and keep it on the road. Being broke down by the side of the road means that you have failed(!). It is a matter of pride in your mechanical ability.

Keeping on top of emerging problems prevents being a pedestrian.

Old Volvos are very fixable. Most of the maintenance and repair can be done with a decent manual and a modest set of tools. Brickboard helps a lot here.

I certainly get a sense of satisfaction when I'm able to solve a problem or successfully pull off a major repair.
