How old is your car?

[Prison Bitch]

Cars have become extremely reliable over the past 20 years. In 1996 the avg car in the road was 3 years old. In 2006 it was 10 and now it's 12.



How old is yours?

The straight six can go for 200 to 300 thou if you take care of them. Usually the rest of the car dies before the power plant does. Here's a picture of my last Jeep right after I bought it in 2002. Loved that car a lot.

Same year as yours, 175,000 miles and my most prized possession.

I put 210k on an 03. Sold it to a long time customer and she still drives the wheels off of it

Every other thing was worn out except the drive train. Damn floorboard was rusting through, almost was a Fred Flinstone car. Still didn't use any oil.
