A Major Milestone
While the American people go forth and vote for their choice of either a head of cabbage or a... head of cabbage, something truly important occurred today... to whit:
That's the DuckMobile's odometer at roughly 6pm this evening. A 1996 Toyota Camry with 111111 miles on it? Heck, I'm going to have to drive a stake through its engine block and bury it at a cloverleaf interchange to see it go away.
Okay everybody, go back to watching the news to see which head of cabbage wins.

It's a Toyota, it's got a long life still ahead of it--a boring life, perhaps, but a long one. If you're waiting for it to croak before buying a newer and/or more interesting car, you may be waiting for quite a while. OTOH, if you're happy with it, then I say hold onto it and save the money you'd otherwise spend on new car payments.

Peter, the DuckMobile is mine for the long haul. She's been with me for 14 years and 81000 miles, and I'd like to get her to "classic car" status at least.

If you haven't already seen it, check out the (YouTube) episode of Top Gear where they tested a small Toyota pickup. Since pickups aren't designed to be particularly fast, they ran a different series of tests than usual, to see how sturdy it was.
