    I’m running my 2008 Toyota until the engine melts a hole in the floor and I have to push it like the Flintstones

      What Toyota? A lot of their engines will do 500k miles with normal maintenance easy. My LC had 300k miles right now.

        FJ cruiser nearing 150k miles.

        Just changed the radio for a 160$ android system and a huge screen, and rear view camera (another 60ish), gives me 90% of all the bells and whistles I want from modern cars.

            as long as you keep up with the bare minimum of oil changes.

            I know a family who doesn’t believe in oil changes, they go though a lot of cars

              Yea that’s like smoking a few packs a day, drinking like a fish, and eating baconators for every meal and then wondering why you’re dying at 30…gotta do the bare minimum at least lol

              Though I did know someone who would basically buy a car drive it until the tires were bald and trade it in for the next one… pretty sure they didn’t change the oil either.
