How long have you owned your car?

[HydroSqueegee]

bought my '03 civic new back in... '03 :gasp: So far ive only put 86000 miles on it. Roughly 1000 miles a month. But it was our only car from '05-'08

87 Caprice - acquired in Sept '06, but family had it since 1997

97 Cavalier - acquired in Jun '08.

Two cars is enough. The Caprice is my project car undergoing restoration and the Cavalier the DD.

Why do you buy shitty old cars and then get rid of them after a year or two, only to buy another shitty old car? Why not just keep driving the original?

I apparently get bored of the cars, or I find another good deal I just cant refuse.
The last few cars I've sold, I've sold for more than I paid...
Plus, fixing up cars is fun to me.. New cars are a complete waste of $ so I like the cheap old cars.

Nothing new is exciting anyways. No more 6 speed in the Maxima... lame.

I don't have anything recent handy. I'll take some.
