How many of you own/have owned a car that is/was older than you?

Please elaborate as to why cars older than 5 years old should be junked.

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.

i have owned a 1981 prelude and currently own an 85 300zx i was born in 87 so both are older then me i personally like older cars better for some reason except for the fact they sometimes dont run as well as newer ones

:lol: Yep, I better tow it to a scrap yard before the town starts fining me! This 5 year old heap is obviously at the end of its usable life.

Oh damn, time to scrap the WRX. It’s going to be 5 soon, who’s going to haul all the booze to carlisle next year. :frowning:

Damn, my Pimpsat is now 5 years old, guess it’s time to keep up with the Karus’s :stuck_out_tongue:
