It has almost four hundred thousand miles on it and It cost me about five thousand dollars when I bought it with about five thousand miles on the odometer.

Those things are absolutely indestructible.

Top Gear tried.

So,how often do u replace your car ? When the old one dies (or gets T-boned by an illegal alien running a red light). I'm averaging one car every 5.833333333333333333333333333333333 years.

Do u buy new or used ?
Two used, the rest new. Current car was purchased off-lease with 7,000 miles. That's the way I'm going to try to go from now on.

What method of payment do u personally prefer..?
Cash!

My idea for the American Dream...

U start saving at...kindergarden...
At age 16,u run an carthon,to family,relatives,friends,acquaintances etc...

U collect 20K

u buy your first car new...

U keep saving & change the car every 3 years,always buying new...

So, from age 16 to 76 u have driven 20 new cars...

That's the american way...not keeping a 200K miles zombie...

So,u lived a good life...
