I am always seeing people laugh at my '88 Escort with 486K miles on it, but what they don't understand is I do most of my own work and about half the parts on it are lifetime warranty. It's alright with me if they want to pay $30K for a new car and go to the dealer for repairs everytime some little something goes wrong or to get it serviced and pay $125. an hour. I'll keep going and getting new parts for free whenever the old ones wear out, put them on and drive some more. My '88 will probably still be running when lots of their cars will be rusting in the junk yard.
