Author Topic: How many cars have you had? Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-15-2006 06:51 AM                        [quote]Second: 1988 Saab 900 (got it up to 300k miles before i sold it!) Wow! My 1998 Ford Mondeo is 1,500 miles off the 200k mark, which I thought was doing well (apparently the average lifespan of a car in Britain is 132k). As a 35k mile per year driver I've always gone for low years/high miles cars, because long motorway runs put relatively little wear on an engine, and a high mileage car is no longer depreciating like crazy.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 03-15-2006 06:57 AM                     Only ever had one; a Morris 1100, KKR696E. Got it in about 1978, got rid of it in December 2002. Best thing I ever did, I hated driving. Only ever did less than 1500 miles in all the time I had it, and 300 of those were on one day.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 03-15-2006 04:52 PM                        Gosh. In 1978 I was 5; fast forward to 2006, and 1,500 miles is about what I drive in an average fortnight to three-week period.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 03-15-2006 05:31 PM                     Three so far: I got a 1990 Olds Cutlass Ciera International Series in 2000; in 2002 I found my way into a 1991 5-speed Ford Probe & shortly thereafter in my black 2000 Pontiac Sunfire coupe, which is where I find myself when driving nowadays. Never fell in love with any of them.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-16-2006 03:58 AM                     quote: Age 41 '69 Buick Station Wagon '74 AMC Gremlin '79 Honda Civic '90 Specialized Rock Hopper (Still Have) '92 Plymouth Colt Vista New (Wrecked!)

I also have a 98' Ford F-150 XLT it looks nice, but I’d rather drive my beater Grand Am any day.  |  IP: Logged
