My current weekend/good weather ride rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan right before the Tet Offensive began.

4 speed manual, no power steering, rear drum brakes, bias ply tires and only lap belts…and I drive it as often as I possibly can because it’s amazing.

My manual Miata is twice as old. Its so much fun and I can squeeze myself into any tiny parking space.

My murano is 15 years old and I bought it new.
I also have a 2020 Audi and 2025 telluride.
I drive the murano locally for parking as it is the smallest car.

But, it is one major repair from being of donation value only. Actually, I was thinking of sell in it while I can get a few grand for it and getting a new small suv likes rav4 for the safety features and my soon to be 16 year old.

I would not drive my murano more 15-20 miles away and would not think to ever commute in it anywhere.

It’s called a daily drive. Lots of car people have them.

I drive long distances and that’s why I need a new car.

So you go around bumping into everyone?

This is the dumbest post I’ve seen here in quite a while. As though a 15 year old car is a deathtrap

The ignorance here is hilarious.
