I'm likely to get a few years of enjoyment out of it before I get married and have kids and the wife says I need to trade it in for $3K towards a minivan, or whatever.
Yep, use 'em until they're gone. But that's just me. Probably just my age, but maybe not. Traffic has become more crowded, speeding laws more onerous, etc.
Cars just aren't that much fun for me these days. We had a LOT more room to have fun in back in earlier days.

I took this photo back in 1975, I-5 south of Albany, Oregon. Note the lack of traffic...
