I've had my 2004 Toyota Corolla since 2012. That's 12 years, longest I've ever owned a car.

The funny thing is that this was was supposed to be a temporary car since it was already an older vehicle when I bought it. But I still have it as my daily driver. Never had any mechanical issues aside from its burning a little bit of oil, but it's no biggie. I never have to top it off as I change the oil every 6 months anyway.
 
I got rid of previous car when it probably just needed a new battery. I later learned the batteries go bad after a few years.

I imagine electric car comes with much bigger battery replacement cost.
 
{<huh}

I have so many questions lol.
It was a 25 yr old used car and I had achieved typical legendary Sherdogger level of success, so it was time for brand new car.

Do you remember in Road House when Dalton was leaving his old job to go work at the Double Douche and drove out his everyday car and tossed the keys to the bum who may have been portrayed by a famous guitar player who said "What I look like, a valet?" and Dalton said "Keep it, it's yours."? I didn't quite do that.

I bought my 2001 Civic with 220 KMS on it...I think my brother finished her off with around 600K KMs on it. Was a good girl who saw some things.
 
I bought my 2012 Civic new and still have it and will probably own it for at least 5 more years as it's in great condition. I once owned a 1988 Chevy S10 I bough in 1990 and I drove that until 2012 and sold it to my nephew with 450k miles on it and he drove it for a couple more years.
 
I drive a 2011. I really don't want to give it up, either.
 
Drove this piece of shit from 06-13
Never put a $ on it, not even the brakes.
When I was done with it, even the scrap yard didn't wanted it.

18 years. Ford explorer.

Little annoying things were constantly breaking, but I kept the car because the engine was rock solid.

So it was reliable but very annoying to drive. Windows, locks, radio, a/c controls, latches.... It was always something. I was glad to finally get rid of it.
