What was your first car?
A 1962 VW sunroof.

Of all the cars you've owned, which was your favorite?
Favorite car owned, my current '09 Subaru WRX.

If you were a car which car would you be and why?
f I were a car? A Rolls-Royce Phantom convertible. Why? There's nothing like it on the road. Nothing even comes close.

If you won the lottery, which current cars would you buy?
I'd get a Porsche Cayman.

What do you like and dislike about today's auto industry?
What I like about the car industry is that they're building the best cars ever. What I dislike is that committee decisions rule, and not enough gut feeling decisions are being made.

140K on a 1998 Ford Explorer

    That's the highest?! Impressive, for how low it is! I have to wonder, Bob, how many years you tend to keep your cars. I thought you tended to hang onto them for a while.

    Congrats on the spotlight! It's always fun to read about fellow members of the forum... and the Subaru Crew! ;)

    I've found that once cars get over 100K, they tend to need expensive repairs (timing bets, etc.). I prefer to get rid of them before hitting that mark. Can't always do that. My current WRX has ~ 85K on it.

    I'm definitely not one of those who tries to milk every last mile out of a car before getting another. Besides, I like new technology, engineering advances, and old cars lose out there. Then there's always the boredom factor too.

    I've found cars, once they get past 100K, tend to have expensive repairs (timing belts, etc.). So I'm not big on milking every last mile out of my car, especially if it's a daily driver.

    Besides I like new technology and engineering; and I get bored with cars too, and want something new.

    Highest mileage I've had was just 107k miles but that car was totaled.

    I may keep my current cars longer as the kids approach college age and the funds will disappear.
