I think my main point here is the *average* age of vehicle on the road is 12.3 years old now.
Me in the 1990s



The Notchback was 30 years old, the Oval Window reaching end of life at 40 years.

Currently the 19971 Superbeetle is 52 years old and the XFi is 33.

This suggests that there must be cars that only last six months to a year to bring the average down.

[full disclaimer: My first car was 10 years old and cost $100]
