You can see whats in my signature. 19 Caddy and 22 LR. Looking to trade the wife's 2011 Yukon for a 23 in the upcoming weeks/months.
Wife has 2018 VW Tiguan just at 5 yr + mark. Love the CarPlay for apple beyond the efficient 2.0 turbo engine coupled to 8 speed auto achieving about 29 MPG average for us.
Thank you for quoting my "original tag"! It looks like there are fewer newer car owners than I thought. Might get a few more chime in over the weekend. But-it's basically easy to see why there is so many posts coming out against new cars, new car tech and the like. When you consider what the forum members on here drive-explains a lot!
Maybe because a lot of people don't want to waste their money on one of the worst financial purchases you can make. All the new tech has made cars less reliable and way more expensive to fix if you are out of warranty. Not everyone can afford to buy a new vehicle every few years or even a fairly new used vehicle these days.
Some of us see no reason to get rid of an older well taken care of vehicle that has no issues. I like spending my money on my other hobbies instead of buying a new or used car every few years.
I have two 16 year old vehicles and also two 17 year old vehicles,
and I plan to keep all 4 of them for 12 more years (until the OEM and aftermarket parts availability dries up).
But I have no car loans, no debt, and actually really like the vehicles LOL. They are great on long trips.

2021 GMC Sierra 3500HD. Just put 6700 miles on it on a 30 day trip.
Since the age of 16 my automotive mantra has been "No boring cars!" I own both older and newer cars but the bottom line is that I believe that life is far too short to be subjected to a self-imposed vehicular purgatory.
Our minivan will be the last boring car we own.
One can argue a crew cab short bed truck is “boring” but I can’t hear their arguments over the sound of my HEMI so they’re irrelevant.
Bill..do you live East of the Mississippi? Yes-there is a reason I'm asking.
LOL. Why don't you take your condescending and know it all attitude and get some counseling for it. Your responses to most threads are negative in nature and you seem to like putting people down. I guess it makes you feel better about yourself or something.
You complain all of the time about people posting about keeping older cars running or people not wanting to buy new ones yet you seem to keep reading those threads and making snide comments in them. If you don't like these subjects, scroll on by. Why that stuff even bothers you is beyond me. How does it affect you in any way?
Why you bring up the Beer consumption thread in your response to me is a mystery. I don't even drink.
