Type of car you drive and age

2007 Tundra currently 199,000 miles. I bought this used in 2011 for $18,000 with 90,000 miles. Plan to keep it until 2021. It has held up good so far, only had to change a starter, serpentine idler pulley, and one rear hub. Only the starter left me stranded, the other parts gave an audible warning before complete failure so I was able to limp into a service center. Maybe I'll go for 300,000 miles.

2004 Toyota Solara convertible, 85K miles. Bought new in June 2004.

In the market for a new car - this one is finally showing its age. Really wish they still made it - I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. But most of the mid-level convertibles just aren't produced any more. Thinking about getting a used BMW 4-series, maybe 2014-15. Just have to decide if a) I want to spend that much money on a car and b) if the Certified PreOwned premium is worth it.

2008 RAV4. Will keep it as long as I can. Sometime since then they switched from a side opening hatch to a vertical opening hatch which is really inconvenient.

A rusting 2003 F150 with 117,xxx miles on it. I've had it since 2004. I haven't changed oil on it since June of last year because I'm using synthetic and I have about 800 miles on the oil. I travel for work nearly every week and even in the rare occasions that I don't fly, I rent a car. So, I'm going to drive it as long as I can.

I have the 98 Accord--~91K miles. Man, I see a lot of them on the road. Averaging around 5K miles/year, figure the car should last another 40 years.

Best part is, when go in da hood, don't have to worry about getting carjacked.
