John York Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I'll start off. I have an 18 year old Ford Escort with all the trimmings that I bought when we still had some money. Apart from a few rust bubbles here and there its still very comfortable and works and drives perfectly. Mind you, we've only done just over 60,000 miles in it so I'm reckoning it'll see us out. Worries me a bit when my son comes to visit though. He always gives it a thorough look over so I make sure I keep the keys safely away in my pocket!

Triplane Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 My wife and I have two cars. One is a 2014 Honda Accord that we use as the daily-driver. The other is a 1957 Corvette that I've owned for 61 years. And, I keep the keys to the 'vette away from my son too (and always have) ..........Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Kane Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I have 2 cars. My daily is a 2008 Honda Jazz I bought used from someone that barely drove it and kept it in the garage for its first 7 years. This was a very good find. My other car is a 1989 Honda Civic I bought for $1000 and I am slowly restoring it. This one is my 5th of this type of car because they go forever. I always said if society was to collapse that old 89 Civic would be the last running car in the world. Modern Honda's are not as reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 You're right about the older Honda cars. The first Honda we bought was back in 1992. I sold it to a friend some years later and it's still running. The last I heard (2014) the car had been driven 347,000 miles, still had the original engine and transmission, and didn't burn a drop of oil..........Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerribleT Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 1984 Peugeot 505 STI Sedan with a 2001 Ford Ghia Fairlane as a backup - the former is nearly run-in as it approaches mostly trouble free 500000 kms - the latter lives up to its reputation at 234000 kms of "Fix Or Repair Daily" but is a very nice car nonetheless.

Rodger Pettichord Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 2007 Mazda3. We had three of the same model before. I was in a job that involved a lot of driving, and each of those previous models reached 100,000. Now that I'm retired, this Mazda3 will be our last car. It's at 107,000 and doing just fine. Mazda makes 'em to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I've vome to the conclusion that some of you are just plain greedy. 3 cars? Must be quite a dilemma when going to the shops to decide which one to get in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 we have a 2017 Mercedes C220 AMG....don't use it much as we both have our own vans for work but it certainly tows our caravan around easily.....the choice is the wife's as she is really into sporty cars and if we had the money she would probably have an Audi R8 and then spend most of her time as a passenger being driven around...

Never had a wingman....I was a Forward air Controller and we just snuck around alone killing monkeys with WP rockets. (no ethnic slur intended there, they were real monkeys....I kind of respected the NVA....very tenacious bunch.) Ridiculous war....it would have pissed me off to have been killed in it. Flight simming is great fun......nobody shoots at you. The thing with flight sims these days is that folks like ORBX keep rolling out these programs that take longer to load than an actual combat mission.

nigelgrant Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 When I graduated from St AndrewsUniversity in 1955 I bought a 1940 Morris Series E tourer for £50; it did 50 miles to the pint of oil and full of rust holes. Articled on a hydro project in the north of Scotland for a year and completely rebuilt the car and sold it for £170 (but spent £110 on parts). I have had convertibles ever since and now in the tenth year of a 2009 Beetle convertible - light silver with red interior and roof – a real “chick magnet” but when they pester me I tell them they are 50 years too late!
