I laugh that a very high manager here in Los Alamos is still driving the early 1990s 4-runner he showed up with as a post-doc in 1996. I think it needs ViseGrips to start. Even at today's inflated car prices he must make >100x that heap's worth a year and I keep asking him - does he love it, or is he a stubborn *********? (the answer is always a proud "yes!").

I'm the same as this guy!
Driving my old truck is like putting on my comfiest shoes, also get a kick out of rolling up to work in it as it's so 'not F1'
Never been one to care about what people think if they're shallow enough to judge me by what I drive. Also never had the desire to spend large amounts of $ buying new every few years, have better stuff to do with my $
Had a UK based buyer all lined up who planed to export it to Zimbabwe so it could live on for another 20yrs, was happy with that but he's gone a bit quiet so I might end up keeping it now
