Date: July 16th, 2026 11:17 AM Author: flushed racy new version locus Mine is 15 years old. Hardly took care of it after the first 5 years. Finally starting to fail. Not sure if I should put 10k into it to keep it to retirement in a few years or let it die and replace it
DECADENT OR SHREWD? |

And that's the "problem" for me...my car is great to drive, there hasn't been any new technology that makes me want a new one, and they're expensive as fuck now
Plus, not giving a fuck what happens to it is kind of liberating |

Date: July 16th, 2026 11:28 AM Author: big legal warrant I drive a 12yo audi suv from back when you could get them with superchargers. Really like it and will just drive it until it explodes. My “secondary” car is a 97 wrangler on 35s that is just plain unsafe. I drove it to my first bench trial and my ass was visibly wet from sweating in the vinyl seats. Kind of just a toy now (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883204&forum_id=2#50003887) |

Jeeps are kind of special tbh. The older ones still had that military DNA that let them chew through grueling shit and keep coming for more. I've heard that DNA was sacrified in the 2000s to the god of profits and losses |
