I hear ya.
Used to say, mostly in jest, that my '02 Dakota would probably outlive me.
For now we seem to be racing each other to the proverbial finish line.
The thing just 'fits' me about perfectly, so if takes $1K/yr from here on out it'll beat hell out of a new one for the ~46 million most of 'em cost these days.
I did tell my kids we could save the cost of a casket, and bury me in the car...... Thanks.
