i was reading that the average car on the road is at an all-time high, with 9.4 years of service being the average. that struck me as really high. i don't know many people at all who drive cars that old, but then again maybe it's due to the snobbish northeast society i rub shoulders with.

where do you fall?

btw, i drive a 2002 [110K on it]

I believe the law is, that If you manufacture a car, you must provide spare parts for a minimum of 10 years. So that average of 9.4 years doesn't surprise me that much. Also have a look at the auto repair stocks theyve been kickin ass. Autozone, Oreilys etc.

I think those clubmans look cool. How do you like it?

[Knuckleslammer]

I drive a 03 corolla with wind up windows. I use a tape player with a tape with a wire and plug attached to my SONY (NOT APPLE) mp3 player.

I use $10 sun glasses, not $150 oakleys.


See, I don't need to look cool in my WRX all decked out in my $150 Oakleys with my $300 apple IPOD.

I'm already cool. I don't need to prove it to others. So have fun with your car payments IDIOTS. Have fun washing your cars constantly IDIOTS.

I'm saving my money to buy canned foods for 2012, so I can survive a month longer than you.

Your poll choices are broken....

Option 1 and option 3 should be combined since option 1 is inclusive of option 3.

[Leppah]

1995 Honda Civic that my lady drives-194K miles on it and running like brand new. New car coming probably in about a year. Paid off.
1997 Ford Ranger-The shuttle vehicle, daily driver, and yard project machine. 176K. Owe $1500, had it for barely a year.
2005 Dodge Caravan-The road trip machine. It sits until it's time to load up the bikes and hit a road trip. 60K. Paid off a few years ago.

Pretty much not going to get another until one dies. I'm thinking it'll be the truck before anything else. When it dies, i'm just going to look for a late 90's 2wd toyota truck.
