First car was a 1974 holden kingswood that had 273000km on it when i bought it in 1993, so was already 21 years old then. Shouldve kept that one...
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

got that wrong, was supposed to be about the age, not what cars you've had.  Oh well, it's there now.

The Red Dragon (my moped) not sure how old it was but it was a lot of fun.
In 1984 I bought a 1981 GSX250, then a 1976 CB400/4 the same year.
In 1986 I bought a 1981 Katana 1100
In 1995 I bought a GPZ750 Turbo
In 1996 I bought a Bandit 1200 new
In 1998 I bought a ZZR1100 new
In 2007 I bought a Hyosung GT650s new
In 2009 I bought a GSX1400 new
Then in 2012 I bought a BMW K1600 new.
Hopefully in 2020 I will have a new FJR1300.
May the sun be warm & shining and your roads be smooth & winding.

Nice cars those NC Fairlanes - for a 'modern' car anyway :)  The LTD's were even nicer-er

Ah okay, well I still have the 2006 Hyosung 650 (needs new ignition switch from attempted theft) the 2008 GSX1400 (all bikes should be this reliable) and of course the K1600 (the rather ill running daily commute now with 196k/km clocked) all bought new. I also have a 2001 GSXR1000K1 that is a recovered stolen Bike I bought from a friend after it was recovered.

As for cars, never had one.

@grog  What do we classify as old, I had quite a few vehicles on historic plates, 30 years in NSW and 25 Vic. I also have a 2000 Patrol but don't think of it as being "old". When I get back the Pajero is going on club plates it drives like new.

Current, and not likely to change anytime soon as just about all necessary bases covered
1989 Ducati 851

2003 Audi A6 Quattro
2005 Chrysler 300c
2008 Gsx1400
2010 Porsche GT3

My newest vehicle is my 2001 K2 GSX1400.
Then it's my 2000 Jag XJR.
And finally my 1976 Triumph Bonnie.

Newest thing I've ever owned was a 2004 Saab 95.

Anything else I buy will be older, as they are much nicer to ride/drive/own/fix/look at etc
