I’ve been arguing with myself about my instinctive desire to upgrade to a newer model, but I think logic has finally won out.
The car runs beautifully, everything works, no rust.
And it’s best feature: it’s paid for.
Why on earth should I take on a new expense?
That car is new in my mind! Keep it, change the oil religiously, keep the brakes maintained and put Michelin Defenders on it....also replace the timing belt every 100k and youve got a car for the long haul.
