[quote=Anonymous]Just keep driving it, and maintain it well.

My DH's car is so old I don't even know for sure how old it is. I think 18 years old? Maybe 19? It's a Chevy Blazer, and he hauls a lot of stuff around in it so it's fine it isn't new.

I have a Subaru Forrester that is about 9 years old -- about as old as your car? It was my first brand-new car (my other cars were new-to-me from CarMax) so even though it is almost 10 years old, it still feels kind of "new" to me lol. When DH's car dies, he'll take my Forrester and I'll get a new car.

We are UMC and could afford newer cars, we just aren't going to spend on them when these cars are fine. I will say I don't begrudge people in this area their luxury vehicles given how much time we are all spending in our cars with long commutes. But that isn't the choice we make. If you are concerned, just keep driving what you have. We need to stop throwing perfectly good stuff away anyway, the consume! consume! consume! culture is awful in virtually countless ways. Be proud of your older car and take good care of it. [/quote]
