My daughter gave me her 2004 Avalanche. Now with 280K miles, still runs well. Not everyday recently, but to be given to a grandson for a first vehicle.

My wife and I got our oldest daughter a used Saturn Ion when she got old enough to work. While I was driving an old used pickup. For many years, well after she grew up and moved out and married, it was a challenge between the two of us on who could prove they save the most money by driving our car longer than the other one. LOL

She barely won. LOL When her friends would brag on their new cars she would ask them how hard it was to pay their bills, while she had zero debt. She drove her old Ion like it was a badge of honor on financial stewardship. I couldn't be prouder.
