born 12/25/1986 first truck had me beat by 2 years (1988 Chevy 1500 pickup) moved down to a 1984 Porsche 944 finally moved up in the world to a 1998 Dodge Dakota R/T (still have) downgraded back to a 1989 GMC 1500 Sierra for a winter beater durring winter '05/'06 this winter i hit a new high of 2002 in the form of a Chevy Blazer so to answer the original question, i had a 1984 Porsche 944, which is/was (however you look at it) 2 (almost 3) years older than me. > [@Mrs. Karus](#): > > new cars ftw… > > if they are more then 5 years old…they need to be put to rest…in a junk yard. > > EDIT FOR THOSE WHO LIKE INTERNET DRAMA: just my OPINION. i like MY stuff new. i dont give a shit if you like your 1991 CRX… i don’t… deal with it. > > /end i kinda agree, i think there are some cars that were good for what they were, but nothing beyond basic transportaion for a few years, and after they’re a few years old, its time to move on. on the other hand, if i had to choose ONE vehicle that i would have to drive for the rest of my life, it would be, HANDS DOWN, a 1988-1994 Chvy/GMC 1500 pickup, 4x4 regular cab, short box, with a TBI 350. fucking tanks and they’ll run forever. both mine had over 200k on them, and i just LOVED everything about them. ---
