It's as easy as diesel (w)123

At this point, none. At least statistically. I'm 31 and not likely to see 113. So, I can drive no car for 82 years.
That said, if I were to get some tiger blood and/or Adonis DNA, I'd have to go with something that could handle the daily commute, move a lot of people at once, have some style and comfort, and still be useful after the collapse of society as we know it. Thus:

The longest I've owned a car so far was just over three years, I can't see myself hanging on to anything that long. Although if I were to have any hope, I'd have to go with my Civic. It'd also mean I'd have to live to at least 106.

Rosemary the hearse and I are going strong at 20k+ miles and 3 years. She's gotten a new radiator, fuel tank, plugs and wires and regular oil changes since I picked her up the year after I started driving. She has also braved a couple ditches that I carelessly nosed her into. I plan on fixing a couple things, mainly minor bodywork/rust this summer, after I start saving money this next paycheck. Then I would like to hold onto her for a long time. We will see how this plan works out and how she holds up but I love to see it when people hold onto cars so long they become an old friend.
I would post a pic but most of you have seen it and I can't seem to get the work computer to link to it.

I've had my 65 GTO since 93. I got it when I was 26 and I can't imagine not having it at this point. It's never been off the road for very long either. It's a family institution now and selling it would be like giving away the family dog because you got bored with it. I really can't see that any thing outside of a tragedy would make me sell it.
I think once you get past the 15 year mark, it'll take a significant event to get rid of a car. It's just part of your identity at that point.
I also have a 65 Alfa GTV that I got in 99. It's two years from getting tenure. I doubt if it's going anywhere either.

My '92 Accord has been in the family since new, and I bought it 9 years ago. I'm very attached to it. When the starter went out, and I push-started it for a month, my only thought was "It's never stranded me!"

I've pretty much accepted that my Audi is my home for at least the next 82 years. To be honest, the damn thing is so reliable and well made I can well imagine it outlasting me.
I'll own other supplementary cars, of course. But I see no sense whatsoever in divorcing the A4 until it explodes.

I'm glad hooniverse finally got around to this story and it sparking a discussion of what we would keep. That rolls is one the most beautiful cars I've ever seen in a picture, I'm going to have to take a trip to see it in person I think. I'm still not sure on the lifer though. I'd like to think I can live with an AMC Eagle forever, but time will tell. Nearly up on 3 years so I guess it's entirely possible.

I think I'd have to go with one of these. Designed by engineers, not marketing men. Classic good looks, comfort, power, and luxury. Simple mechanics and manageable size. This dark blue will work just fine.

I have owned my early bronco since 1985 although it is only used for offroad fun now since it is not really street legal anymore. My wife has had a '66 corvair since 1996 but she is on her second one after a head on collsion. I am currently working on a willys wagon that is be my driver till I die.
