A 12 year old vehicle is NOT an OLD vehicle

My 1999 Ranger laughs at 12 years. ;'}

So does our 1997 Ford Expedition! Still going strong.

I used to have a 1986 Ranger, V6 2WD extended cab.
I put 296,000+ miles on it before I traded it in.
It was still running fine - I just got a little tired of it.

But to tell the truth - I was getting a little paranoid that
it might - inexplicably - drop dead at any moment.
No rational reason for that paranoia, though.

So I just figured 'it was time' and traded it for a new GMC Seirra
4x4 350V8 extended cab short bed - which was another great truck.

These days, however, I have no idea what new vehicle may be
worth the 'risk' / price.
