Have you noticed how many of us drive a lot of miles and just run a car until it's used up? There was another thread where one guy thought that 80k miles was a lot. My model is to maintain a car well and drive it until starts to cost me money to repair it.

I don't think that I've sold many cars for very much money. When I'm through with them there isn't much left.

1964 Chevy Malibu w/283 V-8 (Crushed outside my home on New Year’s Eve, 1978)
1977 Chevy Camaro LT w/ 5 L V-8 (Finished College in this one, kept until family started)
1982 Honda Prelude (Quaalude?)
1983 Pontiac 6000 (First “family car”)
1978 VW Rabbit (time to tighten belt)
1985 Mazda GLC
1989 Mercury Sable (Survived a near 40 mph collision in this one, in 1991)
1991 Isuzu Rodeo LS (1st of a long line of SUVs I’ve owned)
1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0L Convertible (Fun driving again!)
1993 Eagle Vision TSI
1993 Isuzu Trooper LS (step up from Rodeo)
1995 Chrysler LeBaron GTC Convertible (wife’s ride)
1995 Ford Explorer
1998 Ford Explorer
1997 Volvo 850 T5 (Really loved this car, even if it was the wife’s ride)
2000 Saab 9-3 Convertible (too much turbo lag, wife’s ride)
2000 Ford Expedition (Largest SUV to date for me)
2002 Isuzu Trooper Anniversary Edition (Expedition too big, last Trooper made)
2002 Mercedes CLK 430 (power and class, wife’s ride)*
2002 Subaru WRX (son’s ride, really screams RICE BURNER)*
1997 Mercury Mountaineer (daughter’s ride)*
2004 Mercury Marauder (woo hoo, back to performance!)*

* Currently owned.

What’s really amazing was how hard it was to remember, and how forgettable some of the cars were. Normally, we tried to have one “fun car” and one “family car” , for example Trooper and Mustang. Now the children are grown (sort of), we can both drive what we want daily.
