Why does everyone thing "Old" cars are smoke producing crap heaps ??
My car's a '90 Fairlane on LPG / Unleaded. Doesn't blow smoke, usually very reliable (Hey at just shy of 400,000km's, I'll forgive the very rare incident. Last "issue" was a failed oil sensor - leaked oil rather rapidly.....). Still, I'd think nothing of jumping in and driving a few hours away - enough for me to be in another state!!!
It's comfortable, has all mod cons (Tinted windows, Air, Pwr Steer, Climate Control, Cruise, Elec windows, CD stereo etc etc), and spacious - important with a family. And cheap to service
I'd like a new car too. But how can I justify spending $55,000+ to get anything like a new version of what I currently drive. My car's worth probably $3,000 to $4,000. I bought it around 7 years ago for around $10,000.
Of course, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a battle to stay on track - especially when people around you are riving really slick cars - like HSV Clubsports, 200SX's etc.....
To each their own, just dont think cheap means nasty......sometimes it just means less expensive....
Cheerio.
