I have the oldest, crappiest car in my family, yet I don't want to part with it, because me and it has a long history. iIs the first one I ever bought. Do you get attached to things which have seen better days? It still works well, so I dont see any real reason to replace it.

I bought a 2 yr old Mitsubishi Nimbus in 1986, to accommodate our then young family of 4 children. That vehicle served us for 14 years and covered over 400,000 Kms ranging from The Snowies to Mossman, out to Bourke and western Qld, it was probably the most reliable vehicle I ever owned. Yes by the time I had to junk it, I could no longer justify keeping it on the road. My point is that I do not think that any of the current family vehicles would have lasted more than 5 years of heavy use. We currently now have a small SUV for carrying grandchildren around, and I only intend to keep it for 5 years maximum.
