Chinese automakers want to come to US. They could be here fairly soon

39. My wife's 40+ year old Toyota is now owned by a neighbor who is still driving it daily.

It looks it's age but it's still a useful vehicle.

Of course we live in a place with a mild climate where cars don't rust away and everyone has a close relative or friend who is a mechanic.

My own favorite car was a Toyota Corolla I bought for $900. Approaching 200,000 miles it was still going strong when a distracted driver in a big SUV drove off the road and totaled it while it was parked in our driveway.
