I change a car every few years and this year is the time. So while I have been looking at what can I get now, I found that my current car is worth more now than when I bought it used 3 years ago. Crazy...
Three months ago, I took my car camping in the Mojave Desert. I go on mostly good roads, but I go places that there aren't many people. If my car had broken down, I could have been in some degree of trouble. But it's solid enough that I wasn't worried.
This month my car is old enough to qualify for its own driver's license.
16 years old, but it's been bulletproof reliable for all 16 years. The interior isn't thrashed. It still has as much power as ever, or at least as much power as I ever use. It's long since paid for. Why would I replace it?
