Oh Stan. You silly silly boy. Currently there are five on the property and what you don't know about them would fill volumes. Let me ask you a serious question. At what age did you become wise and all knowing? When did you make your last mistake? As a child I expect. Mine? As I write this I get that gut feeling its a mistake.

Let's start simple. I don't look at 'Forever" as a destination. It's a journey and one I've been on for my entire lifetime. I have sacrificed many vehicles to the god of my own ignorance and sometimes even stupidity. But even as dumb as I can be, I'll bet Joe Average had more cars before he was 30 than I've had in a seven decade lifetime. Half or better of those were 'want' buys and not "need" buys. A few were toys like any young man has.

That journey has been both satisfying and successful. It 'seems kind'a odd' to you indeed. I understand.

In my 70 years I have had exactly two abject failures. Both times I took the advice of someone that seemed like they knew something they did not fully understand themselves nor did I. Dizzy and the wife's Paseo. Yes, imagine that. I can be fooled. Lord it is hard to be human. I understand, you've never made one, a mistake, so again, hard to grasp. And yet both of them reach or will shortly 300K miles and will go to their graves in very good shape. Both I would have and HAVE driven across country without fear or concern.

I will continue to make mistakes and I will continue to learn from them and share that experience with anyone else and more than willing to learn from theirs. Perhaps we will both benefit, eh? I will on occasion be fooled and be shamed. I will learn from that as well. It's JOURNEY Stan.

Now I understand. How can a person that makes so many mistakes give so much advice? Well Stan, it may be true that I've stepped in every bear trap in the woods. You think that I might be a useful guide so others don't loose a leg?

Read your post Stan. You've set limits on your Journey. 150K miles. Easy to bore. Affluent and don't need to care. I'm happy for you.

Know this. I've lived in your 150 mile world but you haven't lived in my 'forever' world. I just might know something useful. Then again...maybe not. If you're good there. Stay there. But let me ask this. Because you find satisfaction within your limits does that mean those that are not are broken and need to be brought back to reality? Your reality? If so, surely you can find a better set of tools than ridicule and distain to retrieve them from their error.

Your answer was as expected. My world is amazing. Your book is half open. My experience is fully open and as I always stated works for me. My experience with my family and business are vast and include all vehicles and equipment. It’s in the hundreds. I’ve had vehicles within my business go 1/2 million miles with several different drivers. Cars and trucks get handed through the family that go many miles and years. Some given to employees as bonuses that weren’t needed with the business. I asked a simple question to back up your current forever vehicles While you try to put me in a box. My world and experience are vast. I read here to widen my world. Not to cast doubt on someone else’s. I asked a simple question. I love vehicles, I’ve had many. Some I made money on. Most were write offs. A perfect world for me. I still retired early, living a charmed life. Causing no harm. I’m always looking for the next great find. Exciting, makes life fun. So I’ll ask again. What’s your latest forever vehicle. OH wise teacher of longevity?
