[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my family its almost a contest to see who can keep a car running the longest.  My mom basically had one car my entire childhood (had an 82 corolla) and my dad one for 14 years (89 volvo).  My mom still has her "replacement" corolla ( 98) and my dad has an 03 accord..both still running strong.  Our household consists of a 00 camry and a 12 pruis. We will replace the camry the second we have to put money in it over normal maintenance.  My mom always had this theory that cars should last about how long dogs last. [/quote]

You sound like you have a low HHI.[/quote]

Ya we do (comparatively speaking to most DCUM) at 180k but my parents who I referenced in this post have had an HHI above 300k since the mid 90s.  Sometimes fancy cars don't equal more money people! [/quote]

I agree but the peasant like attitude seems trashy.[/quote]

New poster here but I can tell you keeping a car till it dies is actually a habit of A LOT of millionaire next door types.
