I started driving with 25 year old vehicles, but these days I enjoy the techno goodies. Bluetooth for podcasts, remote trunk and doorlocks, etc. Remote unlock makes it less necessary to let the lady in first, but I still do it regardless.
The newest vehicle I've bought was my motorcycle at 2 years old. It was the oldest fuel injected sport bike at the time, which is why I bought it. Next newest vehicle was a 3 year old Prius plug-in with a reconstructed title.
I don't have time for replacing clutches, doing engine work, or dealing with transmission issues, and I'm mostly against paying a shop to do work I am capable of.
