+1 on that. I am using the insurance savings, depreciations savings, gasoline savings, and repairs savings to pay down my home loan principle. It is like a guaranteed 5% return on investment. My car ain't worth anthing and costs sooo little (for a car) and yet it reliably does every core job a new one would.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
