Who would want to driver around in an 17 year old car? 10 years is past old enough. -- -Mike- |

The local high-school kids do give it the stare as I go by, but I'll bet they're thinking what an old fart I am that I haven't "kustomized" my ride with numerous low-quality but flashy rice-boy symbols. Unlike the ricers, I can actually drive over lost coins and bubble gum wrappers without risking dislodgement of my dental fillings or sudden evacuation of the contents of my oil pan. -- Tegger |

Just don't ask your question of anybody in the "collector" auto circle. To them, anything under 50 years-old is "modern", and they will sneer at you aggressively for your impertinence. -- Tegger |

Attitudes like THAT one are why so many people are only a payday or so away from financial ruin. That TEN year old Camry only has 130,000 kilometres on it and is in MINT condition. WHY should I get a newer vehicle? It has ALL the features I want and rides and handles like a dream. My frugality and values have allowed me to retire from full-time work at 42 (21 years ago) and build up a net worth of close to a million. NEXT question? And, NO, I do NOT waste my money on things like bottled water, huge screen TV's etc etc.. > > -- > > -Mike- > > |
