I bought my first new car in 1989 when I was in my early 20s. I then stuck to a cycle of a new car purchase every ten years. But, I want to see if I can go 20 years on this one. Hell, I'll be in my early 70s at that point and likely unable to afford a new car, so I guess we'll see if it can go 20-plus. Maybe the car and I will have a contest to see who wears out first.
