[quote=Anonymous]My 25 year old RAV4 died on my way to work at the end of May. We’d been together for 18 years and so many road-trips all over the country through multiple relocations. I really loved her and it’s been hard to move on. Her engine went despite diligent oil changes; she only had 213k miles on her but lived in extreme weather conditions outdoors over the years and I’m sure that put more stress on seals and such over time. I’ve actually just purchased a replacement, a 21 year old Infiniti. I’m not saying that I wouldn’t buy a shiny new thing if I was flush with cash, but living on a budget as I do, I have a penchant for maintaining what I have and driving every last bit of life out of a vehicle. I haven’t had a car payment or high insurance costs in more than 15 years and that’s very nice. I guess I don’t care as much as some people do about driving something newer and shinier. I keep a AAA membership in case poo occurs on a road-trip.[/quote]
