Never much felt the pull of getting a new vehicle just to have a new vehicle. We need a good reason to move onto a "new" vehicle.
Heck, I think I need to buy new tires for the vettes, not because they are getting worn out, but because they are getting so old that the rubber is probably getting hard and brittle.

In my teens and twenties I think I was getting a new car every six months or so. I just wish I had held onto a few of them. In the later years I've held onto some for as much as 13 years. It does get hard to find replacement parts on some of them. I think it's easier to get parts for a 63 Corvette than it is for a 98 Corvette now.
