My first car was a 1970 something Vega. A real POS, but I loved that car!

After a few years I upgraded to a 240ZX, that was a real beauty!

Now I have a Chevy Sonic. It's a great little car.

That's not many miles. I am all for getting all the miles out I can after I have paid for a car. After a while an older car can cost more money and down time that it's worth though, so it's a judgement call when it should be replaced.
