Congratulations on the new car! I hope it works out well for you and you have many enjoyable miles in it. Cars are such a big investment these days.

I typically buy new cars and I typically go 10 years between purchases. However, due to the down economy, I am now on my 11th year with my current vehicle and, because it is still in very good shape, I may keep it for a year or two more. I agree with Digital Gee in that it is getting a little boring driving the same vehicle for so long, but I'm just not ready to buy another right now.
