You had a brand new car that only lasted 10 years?? What are you doing to your cars??

My friend has a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser that the mechanic said drives like new.

I have a 2008 Nissan 350z that I'd expect to get another 10 years out of.

Sold it when we moved out of the country, lol. It was a 2007 FJ Cruiser we got for 18k, sold it for 10k. Only changed the starter (drowned it), and a couple other things. Best vehicle I ever owned.
