I average about 20,000 miles per year. Multiply this by how many years I have left on this planet and I will be driving about 880,000 miles more.
I drive mostly highway miles and am pretty easy on cars. I think I can drive a car at least 100,000 miles conservatively and even more if I go diesel.
Since I only have 1 car at this time, I will be buying about 8 more cars in the future.

The reason I ask this is as I get older I realize that money will be better spend on appreciating assets. I guess I am getting tired of being marketed to and manipulated into buying things every few years when we don't have to.

I know many of you have the ability to just buy anything new but I think you get more satisfaction from saving each dollar for something more worth while than a car.
