Back in late 2019, I gave my daughter my 2010 Mazda 5 Sport. I bought it in 2015 to replace a 2003 Volkswagen Passat estate, a car that made meth addicts with a gambling addition seem reliable and trustworthy in comparison. The Mazda had just over 71,000 miles when I bought it. By the time I handed it over to my daughter, it had already clocked around 157,000 miles.
Today, the faithful old Mazda achieved a milestone. 200,000 miles. My daughter was so exited, she texted me this photo...
Good on her for following in my footsteps and rejecting planned obsolescence and the never-ending spiral of consumerism that drives so many people to saddle themselves with crushing debt.
As I've said for years, new cars are for chumps!
