[My oldest vehicle is a 1965 427 AC Cobra (replica) that I've owned for 23 years. It running an all aluminum 482" 427 side oiler with dual QuickFuel 750 4bbls. +/- 700 HP in a 2300lb car = a whole lotta fun...

2000 Ford Taurus. I bought it about 7 years ago as a stopgap back and forth to work car for me, that the Pup could drive if needed. I've always gotten manuals for myself. A year or so later I picked up the new Camry (first new car we ever purchased). I retired a year later and haven't seen the need to replace the Taurus. It's getting to that point when anything semi major will relegate it to the junkyard, but until that time, I'll keep driving it. Heck, I had to think hard about spending the money on a new set of tires for it last year. I put very little mileage on it now. Heck, the Camry is almost 6 years old and only has 20K on it.

2006 Miata, around 60k miles. 1997 Ford Ranger, around 100k miles. Don't drive the Ranger much, it's my winter rig when the roads are snowy or have wet de-icer on them (haven't needed to drive it much this winter) or need to get something that won't fit in the Miata. With the amount I now drive they will both outlast me, I only average 3 or 4k miles a year on the Miata.
