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.

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.
