I've used many old vehicles as DD's. My rule is simple. Your azz will run or I will send you to the crusher. I'll assign the age of the vehicle as based on when I drove it:

1970 Datsun 1200 (when it was 18 years old). I only mention this one because I paid $50 for it at a yard sale, the owner couldn't get it to start. Drove it for years.

1960 Ford 1/2 Truck (when it was 25 years old)

1976 Jaguar XJ-6L w/SBC (when it was about 28 years old)

1965 Corvair Corsa Coupe - Steve's car (when it was 27 to about 35 years old or so)

What do all of these have in common? Paid almost nothing for them, drove the wheels off of them for YEARS, and none of the four EVER rode on/behind a tow truck. Not even once.
