2002 Toyota Corolla. Had it for 10 years and still going strong! Although it is looking a bit rusty lately lol


My daughter's is a 1995. She bought it in August for $1400. It's in great shape and runs beautiful. She loves it. I hear you can drive those forever as long as you change the oil when you need to. I hear they are like VW busses. They never die and you can't kill them, unless you neglect to change the oil.

Yep, Toyota and Honda both. Japanese engineering at it's best.

To put it in perspective, Honda's that are reasonably well taken care of are known to last for seven figure mileages.

I have yet to get my first car. I'm a very working class person and I enjoy my money when I get it.

My quad bike (it's technically a car, albeit just a little off-road one; it can drive on the road fine though. A little slow at 40 KPH, but that's ok). It's blue.

1982 Camaro Z-28 pace car replica. I bought it off of my brother when I was 15. I was going to restore it, but I lost patience and bought a 1991 Mustang GT 3 years later.

I killed a '76 Corolla for that exact reason. It was only 11 years old when I got it, and it had less that 80,000 miles on it. I wish I still had that one. I was naive about cars back then.
