re: For the “drive it until it dies” folks, what are you driving and what’s the year/mileage?

2004 Lexus 220,000 miles. Bought it used in 06 with 69,000. Number 4-cylinder isn't firing and the trans acts up now and then. Interior has cracks everywhere. Was my wives then bought her a new ride so I drove it. Man the difference in the ride to a truck is unreal. Thinking of pulling the engine and putting in a home made house boat.

2011 Silverado 1500. 220k

Currently:
- some sort of clicking noise that correlates to RPM. May be oil level/pressure related.
- leaking brake fluid on rear tire
- bad alignment issue on front end
- front bumper covers literally held on with zip ties....

We move in a month and the Mrs starts a new job in August/September. Hoping I can squeeze another 6ish months out of the old girl.

2008 Silverado 245,000 miles and runs like a sewing machine. No major issues.

I travel a lot for work and keep a travel car and run them until they drop. The current one is a 2006 Lexus ES I bought new and it has 430k miles on it. Less than $2000 in repairs over that milage. It could use some front struts soon but other than adding 3-4oz of refrigerant every summer it is solid. Expect to retire it at half a million.

Picture of the odometer early in 2021 when I did a oil change on the transmission.

07 Tundra with less than 140k.

WFH now and put maybe a few K per year on my truck now. 10 year old tundra that has 110k so I hope this lasts another decade or so.

2015 Tundra, 196k miles.
replaced a 2010 Tundra that had at least 277k miles.
replaced a 2006 Tundra that had 144k miles.

I was going to get a 21, but the reality of kids needing cars and college has set in, so I am going to ride this puppy until I can see the road beneath my feet.

2015 F150, 175k miles

2000 Sierra. 157,000 miles.

Looks like the Automobile Industry would not be happy with members of the OT. Most of us though probably have paid for newer cars for our kids though. That's where my money for a newer one went
