      I’ve always driven cars until they die…or in the case of my 2007 Accord a my son totals it. 😑 I do as much of my own work as possible too.

      I truly don’t get the point of getting a new car just to get a new car.

      My car is old enough to have kids my age, but at least I’ll never have to take it to a mechanic. No computers means I can do everything from valve timing to gearbox rebuilds myself, and parts are dirt cheap because they’re being thrown out all the time.
