Say "aye" if you have been driving the same car for 10 years or longer.

[The Night Owl]

I'll start...

Aye!

[Maine-ah]

1. I can give you an almost 10 years aye...

another year and a half till I hit 10.

I haven't even hit 90k on it yet.

[rug]

2. Aye.

Jeep Wrangler. 140,000 miles.

[ogneopasno]

3. Aye. But then, we have five driveable cars.

[old mark]

4. It will be 10 years in October - It's a 2000 Hyundai Elantra

bought new in October, 1999.
Looks like hell, still runs fine.

mark

[lizziegrace]

5. 1994 Honda Accord - I've had it almost 10 years

180,000 miles on it. I drove it until last summer when I gave it to Lelapin.

[DS1]

6. aye, dammit

[SeaLyons]

7. Aye!! 1993 Infiniti

I bought it in '95. It had 35K miles - now it has 192K. It's been a great car.

[LeftHander]

20. 1995 inifinit G20t....167k, second engine. Bought in 97' w/32k

My engine blew big chunks in the driveway at 127k...block was cracked after a rear end collision. I also blew a tire in a giant pot hole that damaged my front suspension and almost ripped the front wheel off. I just replaced the exhaust system on it and am doing the rear sway bars in a couple weeks which are rusted through..

Also replaced axle, suspension etc.... from that pot hole. I love the car still new/used engine is peppy as hell...fun to drive. 5 speed.

[SeaLyons]

24. mine is a G20 also....

it's started having electrical problems which have been a bit costly, but the engine is good, drives like it's new and still looks good. Zero car payments for the past 10 years has been sweet!!!

[LeftHander]

38. It is such a fun car to drive...

great handling, small with a just enough power to make it fun.

We have a 2.0 5 spd. Jetta that my partner drives and that is like driving a marshmallow compared the G20t

[RebelOne]

8. My car is 10 years old, but I've been driving it for 8 years

and will probably be driving it for another 8 years if I live that long.

[knowbody0]

9. 1997 pontiac

200 thousand miles. runs perfect. replaced serpentine belt and alternator. still looks new.

[Midlodemocrat]

10. Nay.

[The Night Owl]

11. Hey!

You're not allowed to do that.

:spank:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Oh, sorry.

:rofl:

[blue_onyx]

12. Nay

I haven't been driving for ten years yet.

[PassingFair]

14. Been driving our Toyota wagon since 1993...

...and I "inherited" my Grandma's
95 Cadillac DeVille in 2005.

We had a leased Saturn before the
Cadillac appeared...

[Missy Vixen]

15. We've been driving our 1994 Nissan Sentra

since we drove it off the lot in 1994.

The car has a little over 150,000 miles on it.

[MorningGlow]

16. Almost!

Jeep Wrangler will be 9 in June. 170,000 miles and still going strong. (Okay, the driver's side door fell off. But Mr. MG bolted it back on.)

[Jokerman]

17. Aye! 1998 Cavalier Convertible

Bought it new, paid for it in 3 years and I plan to drive it until it won't go anymore.

Put the top down today for the first time since last fall.

:woohoo:

[Sanity Claws]

18. Aye

I bought a 1995 BNW 525i back in March 1995 and I'm still driving it. The only way to get your money's worth out of a car is to take care of it and drive it until it gives up the ghost.

[mikeytherat]

19. Youngest car is 14 years old. The other two are 22 and 23, respectively.

mikey_the_rat

[geardaddy]

21. Aye.

Honda Civic - 12 years

[Mugu]

22. One aye and one nay.

My 98 Ranger has 38k and my 03 Galant has <18k. The Ranger was bought new in 97 and I received the Galant with 10k in 04. I just recently replaced the factory battery in the Ranger and the factory wiper blades on the Galant. I change the oil (Mobil 1) and rotate the tires on the Ranger every November and on the Galant every other November.

[Dappleganger]

23. Aye, aye!

[GoneOffShore]

25. It'll be 10 years next March - 2000 Saab 93 with under 60K on it.

We live in the city and don't need to drive alot. The car was probably one of the last real Saabs - GM hadn't quite gotten their "Marketing Dept" hooks into the company.

[Blue Diadem]

26. Aye! Always said I'd drive it until the wheels fall off.

1992 Dodge dynasty. I think it's close to 250,0000 miles on it now. Rust bucket that it is, it still runs well. I think I'll cry when we say goodbye to that one but who knows when that will be with DH laid off and the economy the way it is.

[question everything]

27. 98 Toyota Camry

which replaced an 86 Camry.

our second is a 2007 Highlander that replaced a 1993 Volvo.

And this is the reason why we have not had American cars for many years.

:hide:

[riverdale]

35. 1995 Toyota Camry

Bought it when it was three years old.
It lasted through several layers of anti-Bush bumper stickers, until finally now some more positive ones.
The driver's side door handle broke right in half on a really cold day two years ago, but there's still enough left to open it. And the left rear door will not open from the inside. But really, not too many problems to speak of.
It needs to hold together for a while, as I'm going through a bout of unemployment.

[question everything]

44. Oh my. I think that this is why, when we both hold jobs

we take care of the cars, follow all the maintenance routines, etc. We had a major break with the Volvo shortly after we both lost our jobs. $1500 that we charged on a credit card. Spouse was thinking of ditching the car and my reply was: and what would you do for a car? Who is going to lend you money to purchase another?

[riverdale]

54. smae thing

A $650 car repair bill after I lost my job. But what are you going to do? Luckily it wasn't worse.

[fizzgig]

28. aye!

i've had my 82 volvo since i was 16. i love my car :loveya:

[Throd]

29. 41 year old car I bought 22 years ago

It didn't seem like such an old car at the time. Aw crap, that means I'm old. Now I am depressed

[rurallib]

30. Aye - 1994 sonoma pickup

and our car is on year #7

[Manifestor_of_Light]

31. Yo!!!

Got a greenus weenus.

1994 Mazda four door.

[astral]

32. aye!

and it's now exactly twice that old. how long can a car live?

[Common Sense Party]

33. Almost. I think we got it in 2000...

But it's a '99 minivan.

[Grey]

34. Aye.....

1996 toyota

[Jamastiene]

36. Aye

[sarge43]

37. Almost aye. Nine years. n/t

[tabbycat31]

39. other

my car is 10 years old this year, but I have been driving it exclusively for 3 years. I bought it off my parents, and I've driven it on and off when it was their car.

ETA 1999 Subaru Forester, 143K miles

[greendog]

40. Aye ~ '95, bought it new.

[grace0418]

41. My Civic will be 10 in June.

I love her! She's the best.

[DarkTirade]

42. The only car I've ever owned has been in my family that long.

Unfortunately it has since gone kaputski. But my brother had it for years before he passed it on to me.

I couldn't have owned the same car for 10+ years though... I didn't get my license until I was 18. So I've only been able to drive for 9 years now. :P

[Rambis]

43. 1996 Nissan Altima

best car I have ever had-

[bigwillq]

45. Nay

I have a 2006. The lease is up in the summer and then new car for me! :bounce:

[BarenakedLady]

46. Aye it's 1998 Chevy Venture

And about to die on me. I have no idea how I'm going to replace it.

[noamnety]

47. Aye in spirit

we keep all our cars at least 10 years. My last one was past that, and we finally trashed it when the passenger door was held on with bungy cords, sometimes the drivers door had to be coerced shut, and the fumes entering the passenger compartment forced us to drive with the windows open. That one died about 7 years ago, so now I'm at 7 years into its replacement.

[quakerboy]

48. Nay

I have planned to on each purchase, but I am now three for three in having people run their own cars into mine. One ran a red and smashed me. One ran into the rear of my parked car. And the most recent was a 87 Y/o running into the rear while MIL was using my car.

[struggle4progress]

49. The one before the last one, I had ten years: got it secondhand, and it had been on the road nearly

twenty years when I finally sold it. The last one, I drove twelve years. I've had the present one nine years

[triguy46]

50. Aye. 1997 Ford Ranger, 114000 miles. Just drove 120 miles in it...

to pick up a new sickle mower for the hay operation.

[intheflow]

51. I drove my last car for 12 years, 214,000 miles.

It just died on me in November. But ask me again in another 10 years; hopefully the car I have now will last until then.

[Kat45]

52. I have! For 15 years!

I've got a 1994 Toyota with only around 50K on it. :-)

[jobycom]

53. Without a bathroom break? Holy Carp!

Find a rest stop!
