Eh, I think I'll keep my old Ford. Costs me about $500/year in maintenance/repairs. No comprehensive insurance. Car tabs are cheap because the state considers it worthless. I never worry about parking it on the street / at the airport.

A legitimate path, but 17 million new cars are sold a year in the US alone.

I haven't bought a new car since 1987 :-)

What model car was that out of curiosity?

The problem with this strategy is that if you ever get in a crash, you're probably going to be dead. Newer cars are much, much safer than older cars.
