Re:Insurance go down?? (Score 1)

um. cars definitely don't last longer than they used to. for example, a 1983 Dodge Ram Charger i inherited still runs fine and still has mostly original parts (original engine too), sure it gets 13 miles to the gallon and has had to have some repairs occasionally (every 2 or so years one thing or another tends to go out). but most cars nowardays..well i think honda's now have the longer lasting engines and i doubt most will last much over 10-15 years. the methods of today tend to be: build it cheap, trash it and buy a new one when it breaks.
