I have always loved stories of vehicles that have lasted for a significant amount of time. I don't understand why exactly, but I guess I have always enjoyed the idea of the underdog winning, the story of the one that outlasted everyone else, and the idea of the turtle beating the rabbit. It blows my mind to think of owning a car for a decade and a half. I have never owned a vehicle that has lasted more than 5 or 6 years. I had a Pontiac Sunfire that lasted 200,000 plus miles and nearly 9 years before I could not longer drive it. I had a friend who owned a Ford Tempo that lasted for more than 400,000 miles when he sold it. That blew my mind.
