To each his own. People probably question why a "rich" UPS driver like me drives a 10 year old pickup.

I live a fairly frugal lifestyle overall but I do like to drive new cars.

The average age of the cars on the road is 11. I just heard that yesterday.
My newest car is a 2005. (2004 and 1999)

How much wear and tear can you put on them driving back and forth from the Piggly Wiggly?

My '99 Blazer has a little over 12,000 miles.....like new and bright red.......classy looking ride.



****How many Piggly Wiggly stores do you think are in California, Miss Daisy?

I was thinking you had a full size blazer.

Do you still have the mini?

Mine is the same red. That was a good color. Doesn't fade and still looks new for many years.

My mini is my "every day ride" (2005) purple haze
We have a Tahoe (2004) hubby's everyday ride and golf club transporter.

Always has been in the garage, so fading isn't an issue. The car still looks good coming and going......following the car to take it for service, it looked good and I was tempted to put the moves on the driver!!

Mini looks cool but I would consider it more a fun toy than a daily driver. The new minis are vastly improved over the originals but you have to deal with legendary British unreliability and the original designer believed only uncomfortable cars are safe because it makes you pay attention to your driving.

San Clemente is small when it comes to downtown and maneuvering around and parking.......think VW bug as the perfect size for this town. My daily trips are mostly grocery stores nearby.....(which is why my Blazer has such low mileage).
Big rides and trips are always in the Tahoe......the drink holders are my comfort factor.
The mini has been no problem at all....just do the regular oil stuff.

These are the kind of streets that are in my town (historic part). This is where a small car is great.

@oldngray, sorry guy, but the reintroduced Mini's are built by BMW. Probably not much more reliable and expensive to maintain, but certainly not British.

German unreliability? More like a VW than a Mercedes?

Pretty much.

I drive a 2000 Toyota Tundra.

Right, I got mine at Irvine BMW and in 10 years only a few oil changes.....one trip to the dealership for the biggie checkup. It's been the most trouble free car we ever owned (knock wood).

We've had Mercedes (5 of them) they are a pain to maintain and take a lot of money to maintain. I would never have another one. We would lease them and the day the lease ran out, we would turn them in and get a new one.

I drive a 2012 Subaru Outback. What else would I drive? Okay, maybe this?

Some might wish to take the $$ that would go tward a car payment and put those $$ into their retirement fund?
