Or are we the weird ones with a 2003 and 2010 Honda at home? I did drive a lot. Here’s all my cars: 1991 Ford Escort- 3 years 1993 Ford Tempo- 3 years - Told my dad my Escort had a problem and he just traded it in. 1996 Ford Escort- 3 years Think I put 70,000 to 80,000 miles on those. My dad’s office was beside a Ford dealership. 2000 Subaru Legacy Wagon - 5 years 2005 Subaru Legacy Wagon - 5 1/2 years - Sold car to My uncle in 2010 and he had it another 6 years 2010 Subaru Forester- 1 year. It sucked gas, so gave it to my mom and took her Cherokee to trade in for my Hyundai. Don’t remember how long mom kept it. 2012 Hyundai Elantra- 5 years. Gave to my uncle, which he still has. 2017 Subaru Impreza - 6 1/2 years. We traded in my uncles 2005 Subaru Legacy Wagon for my Impreza and I gave him my Elantra. I would say I put around 90,000 to 105,000 on the Subarus except Forester and over 120,000 on the Elantra. From 2011 to 2019, drove from West Virginia to Florida probably 4-5 times a year. Since I’ve been on dialysis in 2019, I no longer drive long distance. Just drive to and from Orlando, an hour away. So, my new car will last longer.

The Evil Genius Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I get it. That's a lot of cars..I'm just jealous. We have a 2016 Honda too but it's my wife's 2 door coupe and she put like 3k a year on it. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He use to buy a new car every 3 years. Sometimes on a whim. I cleaned out my old car. Found stuff in glove box, I didn’t know was there. It will be traded tomorrow.

My parents gave me a used Oldsmobile in high school. Bought my first (used) car when I was 25 - Toyota Camry. Then bought the Outback in ‘15. That’s it. That’s the list. My wife has had 3 cars in her lifetime too. She has a 2009 Civic. I drive that more now. It runs nicely, but the paint is fading and some of the interior is really worn. I’m debating whether or not to put some money into the paint and interior or just upgrading in general. I’ve been looking at the Solterra, but can’t justify the cost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long n Left Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 New ride on the way. Now that we’ve retired to paradise, and I’ve got my beach toy (‘21 Jeep Wrangler 80th anniversary edition in Nacho orange), was time to get rid of the other big car (Chevy Traverse) and get my wife a sedan. We wanted to go EV, so did a good bit of research that did not include Tesla, and decided on the Ioniq 6. She wanted the limited, so we’re getting first one coming to the dealership, ETA July 16. Test drove the SEL model…sweet ride! More range than similar priced Tesla. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I see a lot of Hyundai Ioniqs on the road. They look nice. My job is on a campus that has free charging stations (the entire campus is energy neutral due to the solar panels covering the majority of the parking spots), so an EV would definitely be a great option for my next car. Plus when we bought our now 60+ year old house, we had a new breaker box put in that would allow for a charger to be added should we go that route next. Enjoy the new ride.

That’s the all electric car they made with Toyota. If you want an all electric Subaru, just wait 3-4 years as they are ramping up their electric selection. Easy thing for them would be to have an electric version of their top 3 model models: Crosstrek, Forester and Outback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wiggles Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Look at all these cool 70s cars. My first car was a 1990 Volvo 740 GL. Bought it at a car auction in West Virginia. I'm positive it was a drug seizure as it was from Florida with tinted windows and a cellphone antenna. 🤣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th Commandment Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 76 Nova hand me down was my first car. It jumped like the General Lee out here in the middle of the desert just didn't land so well. Recall having about 10 guys in there, skipping class, sitting on a ditch bank and blowing some dope/dope smoke rings to each with a contraption called a steamroller they used to sell at head shops. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
