Re: What makes you keep your car?

Because, despite being born in the 80's I am happily living in the 70's (much like the skyhooks) with my dub. Over 100,000 miles and counting. I have all the luxury features I could possibly handle... Armstrong power steering, two speed heater for the cold, four door (quattrporte) air con for the Summer months and it returns a miserly 9.5 to 14 litres per 100 km of foot to the floor driving.
Besides that, I still look upon XDs and newer as "Fancy Modern Cars" (Hell, even XA through C are a stretch, but I probably wouldn't say no to a freebie) So the likelihood of me trading "up" is not looking great just yet. Add to that the fact that, despite my car's unkempt and "well loved" outer appearance I still get countless compliments, thumbs up, "YEEEAAAAAAH's" and offers to buy.
On top of all that, there is just something imperceptible about driving around in a 45 year old car that makes me feel just a bit better about life.
Also, Where the hell would I find another one if I got rid of this one???
Cheers, Tony
