I don't know anyone with a new car.

My GF has a 05 VW Jetta, I have had my 05 Mustang for 2 years now, kept my Saturn for 10 years, I still have my 03 Durango (on long term loan to my brother), I have friends with: 97 Corolla, 05 Saturn VUE, 01 F-150, 06 Elantra, a chevy Cavalier, 95 Mustang...Here in the DC area, we keep them forever which jives with all the articles I've been reading about how people are keeping their cars longer because of the economy.

On my motorcycle ride through the rural parts of my county, I was in Damascus, MD last night. Talk about old cars. Saw tons of 70s Camaros, 90s mustangs, 80s 3-series BMWs, 90s/2000s Civic hatches and tons of pimp-mobiles...some were even in good shape
