How old is your car?

So do you like to waste your money and destroy the environment by buying a new car? or do you believe in using up the natural resources already pulled from the earth by enjoying a better, older vehicle?

I gota 17 year old car and my car is dissolving back into the envirenment it came from by rusting. I guess I'll drive it till I can see the asphalt through the floor.

brand new viechle- and couldn't be any happier :)

2 years old

My Nova is 31 years old... I like the older cars more than the newer cars. Not many newer cars appeal to me.. and the ones that do I can't afford. Thus the older ones are my bag.

My GTO is 37 years and 104,000 miles old.

My cars all fall into different spaces.

1988 Yugo GVX, 1982 Toyota Corolla Tercel, and 1969 Subaru 360.

I could never imagine owning a car less than 10 years old, it'd just seem wastefull. The average car in the U.S. lives only 15 years, which is a disgrace. My vehicles have already or will be passing that mark (This is the year that theoretically the Yugo should be getting sent to the scrapper) The Subaru will hopefully continue giving 60mpg for many years more to come, and the Toyota has already lived a pretty life, but I think that it'll continue serving for at least another half decade (and by then it'll be considered "classic" so hopefully somebody will want it from me and keep it on the road)

baught it with half a year and soon we´ll celebrate it´s second birthday:flash:

My main car is 5-6 years old ... :(
My second car was 7 years old ... :mad: .. just gone a few weeks ago ..:D .. and is going to replace it with a brand new car very soon .. the latest next month .. :p
My third car is 1 year old .. :D
And within 3 to 4 month have plan to buy another brand new car to be my second car .. and the very soon second brand new car will be my third car and the third car will be the fourth car .... hahahhahahha ... r u confuse friends? .. :D :D :D :p
I have plan to sell my main car too and replace it with one of my Dream Car but to buy 3 brand new cars a year will be too much .. I have to hold it till next year .. :( ... :p :D

my car is 16 years old, and less and less people know what it is.

1992 Nissan Skyline GTR. An oldie but a goodie, well in modern performance car terms hahaha

Not many do......Especially non-entusiasts- but I know only as far as that it is a rebadged Ford Sierrra XR4i

with a turboed 2.3 :D

I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised, after all there are people today who don't even know what a Yugo is! (It's only the most notorious hatchback of the 1980's!) Which is why I'm continously amazed that people know what a Delorean is (If the bricklin SV-1 had been a time machine in a movie, it'd probably be famous right now too)

going on 12 years and about to round 340,000kms. she ain't got much left in her...but she was free, and a new one is coming soon.

a Yugo actually lasted 15 years?? :p jk dude.

Mine's a 1988 (obviously) but I have talked to a couple people who drive '86 models, and one who had his till 180,000 miles (on one engine) untill he rolled it on the highway - he now has another Yugo, with the same engine in it!

89 GTC: 14 Years.
90 GTC: 13 Years.
94 TSi: 9 Years.

my current cruisin car is 5 years old (Camaro) and my project car is 13 years old (1990 Chevy S-10). i do want a 70 Chevelle SS tho. those cars kick so much ass....:finger:

Mine is a 94' model, but has the low milage of a 2000 model, due to abroad stay, and I didn't have time to sell it at the price I wanted..

How old? I know the build date on mine: November 25, 1964. I guess I should throw it a party next year when it hits 40. It probably wants a supercharger for a present.
