Got the warm-n-fuzzies reading that, OP, cheers! We have some vehicles in our fleet right now that I can't justify getting rid of due to that dependability/work horse factor; a '00 Crown Vic (P71) with 240k on the odo and 20 years of ownership, an '01 Tacoma (112k, 15 years) and a '99 Accord (305k on chassis, 50k new motor, 19 yrs with us). These cars are so cheap to insure and maintain and have been so reliable that they've spoiled us!
