What old cars are you frugal people nursing through life? 🚗 Auto

I remember the older generations would buy a car and drive it for two or three decades. Today it is pretty popular to replace a vehicle regularly. What are some old vehicles you all are still driving. I’m stuck in the early 2000s, because they are new enough to have some features, yet, mostly simple to service.

In supplement to my 05 Grand Marquis, but I drive them both equally maintain them all but the CRV myself (I don’t find Hondas easy to work on like people tout)

In the last week I probably put 300 miles on the Volvo and it’s about to be taken off the road for a month while I catch up on maintenance

This pic was taken tonight btw 😁
