"New Truck"
Well, for me anyway. A 1997 Range Rover with a 169000 miles and a bright yellow to boot!
I may have jumped off the deep end here and taken on a bit much; these things are notoriously unreliable. I picked it off Craigslist in MN for $3200.00. The truck came with work order receipts for the last 15 years. I added them up and came up with nearly $30,000 in work done by a Jag shop on the west coast, you name it . . . it has been replaced or overhauled. Someone loved this truck. It is immaculate, inside leather and interior is spotless and hardly worn. I have a few hundred miles on it now and can see a few summer small fixes already though. I put 3000-5000 miles on my vehicle a year.
I'm a project guy, moving on and finishing one project after another. A grand experiment has begun.
I'm guessing many in this group keep things running waaay past what most would consider keeping . . . It is in a way, "A hobby".
