16 years - Mid 80s Toyota Corolla

The engine was still running reasonably well at 286K Miles, but the body was crap and it had no modern safety features. It was a bit scary doing 75+ on the freeway with it. I took it to a muffler place and after putting it on the lift the mechanic said "Do us all a favor and don't drive this anymore" Well said. It was retired that day.

It's like pregnancy-you forget the pain. E.g., recall that bad-boy was 4 banger.

True but my 4-banger had a supercharger. Never lacked for power.
