Oh, and btw, my car’s engine is rated for 500K miles. I’m slowly working my way there, with regular maintenance, of course 🙂

My car will officially be 20 yrs old next month :=D[/quote]

I have no desire to have on older car, I’d much rather have a newer car with side airbags, traction control, more advanced chassis that absorbs impacts better, etc…

Comparing apples to apples, you’re way safer in a newer car with these features and since I can afford it I deem it money well spent.

There are a lot of predators and crazies out on the roads.
