I often hear so many say they’re driving a car until the tires fall off, and IMO they may be making a big mistake.
I say drive the safest car/vehicle you can within reason, you won’t be able to spend your saved money if your dead or worse.
BTW, I agree 100% with svelte, I don’t want an old car either for exactly the reasons svelte mentioned. Cars are like computers, generally the newer the better.
There are a few exceptions of course:
1980 Turbo Trans Am Indy 500 Edition (really any Indy Pace Car)
Early 1970’s Chevelle SS 496
Boss Mustangs (Any year)
Shelby Mustangs (any year)
