2008 Scion xB. 85,000 miles. Couldn’t be happier with it unless it got a little better gas mileage, but 30 is pretty decent for a car I can comfortably fit in. ---

1992 Mazda 626 with about 165K miles on the body and 50k on the engine. It’s a rattling deathtrap and probably won’t last another year. ---

I have a 1991 Mazda 626 with about the same mileage. It’s an absolute workhorse, and we’re planning on giving it to my son in a few years when he’s old enough to drive. ---

1997 Subaru Outback Sport, with a whopping 80,000 miles on it. Given the mileage on it, I suspect I’ll be driving it for many years to come. ---

2003 BMW 325xi. I hate how much care and attention it needs and want to replace it. The biggest problem is deciding what the heck to replace it with. 90k miles. ---

My Mother The Car (voice of Anne Southern). Would make my car about 90. Seriously, I have a 2010 Mazda 6 with about 8,000 miles on the clock. Had it since new. ---

2005 Porsche Cayenne S. I’d get another one but the dedgum thing still looks and runs like it’s brand new. Unless you’re a star on Jackass, these things are relatively indestructable. ---

We just bought our 2007 Toyota Prius lease car. It has only accumulated 50 K miles in four years. We hope to drive it untill our toddler goes to college. ---

1992 Subaru Loyale wagon (I tease & call it the Nick / Nora mobile). Still runs well. 50,000 original miles. She may last a long time or not: the engine is 90hp 1.8 liter and not designed for highway at all. But. At slower speeds, like in traffic, she is amazing and eats pot-holes as snacks. So good in snow, the only thing you ever have to worry about is beaching her in a drift (a long-handled shovel handles that). Sure, she’s slow. But she’ll get you there. ---

Pathfinder is an '06. Wifes Jeep is an '02. I’ve had my truck since high school. It’s a '76. ---

2008 Hyundai Elantra, 45k miles. Before this I had a 2002 Elantra which I traded in at 115k. ---

1995 Monte Carlo - but am looking to buy a vehicle this summer. I probably won’t go with a new car - but am looking for something in this decade at least! 🙂 ---

1999 Toyota Sienna. 203,000 miles on it right now, hoping it will last to 250K or even more. ---

2007 Ford Mustang V6. I’d like to trade up for a newer model; I’m pretty anamored with Mustangs. This is the first I ever owned, and I love it. ---

Mine’s a little complicated. The car year is 2002, but I bought it basically new in 2004 (somebody bought it, defaulted on the payments after only driving a few hundred miles, then the dealer lost it on the back lot somehow). Her name is Karma. It’s starting to show it’s age. It still runs really well, although sometimes the accelerator sticks when I’m trying to get going (iow, off not on), but I’ve always had to park outside so the paint looks awful, and the steering wheel and radio buttons are worn. ---
