There is a film with Sylvester Stallone in it where he plays a cop that is frozen and woken up a couple of hundred years later. By the time he wakes up everyone drives electric golf buggies. The films ends with a huge chase when Sylvester finds an American v8 muscle car in a museum.

If I could afford to, I'd buy a 500hp Porsche Turbo now and keep it in storage for 15 years, then get it out and blast around making a racket while everyone else is pootling around in dandelion-juice-powered invalid carriages

Sounds quite like your idea.
