I've got an even older vehicle—a little
'95 Japanese pickup truck which has required only a generator, brakes, tires, and wipers in its long life: it does
all the heavy lifting for this family.
But my vehicles get even older:
my BMW is a heavily modified
'91 M318is. Photos and the rest on this BMW-for-the-street-and-track, I'll put in the blog area later.
My oldest vehicle is a
'71 VW camper—also "souped-up" with HD swaybars, oil coolers, Koni shocks, and a modified engine.
The original two
steel ignition keys—and a few brass ones—have worn out. Three ignition
switches also eventually worn through. But it's seen nearly 400,000 miles, towed boats, trailers and cars, and carried me through 40 states. (So I'm attached to it still).
Oh yeah...two speedometers worn out, too
How many drivers own their car for so many miles that they're on their third speedometer?
