You know, it’s amazing how long you can keep a good car or truck running with proper maintenance, or restoration.
My “car” turned 70 this year...;’}
My pickup turned antique 9 years ago. Paid the one time $120 tax and it now has "forever plates". It sucks spending $$ for gas, but it gets 17/18 mpg, and never breaks. The cheap cost of repair offsets the mileage by a long way, and it's got plenty of go-fast compared to my last "new" truck.
She's a keeper. I will upgrade it to a 1 ton (4x4), and a coat of paint next year, and I will keep it till I die.
