General banter from that MKIII owner's age thread.

[Bru]

Just for the record, I bought my 1987 Supra turbo when I was 39. The car was 8 years old then. Now 17 years later, the car is 25 years old and I am 56. I Don't plan on stopping driving it anytime soon as I've just put on a new timing belt and water pump.
I overhauled the drivetrain in 1995 at 238,000 miles. Now it has 267,000 and shooting for 300,000 plus. The key is to replace parts when needed and keep up the maintanance.
I paid $5,200 when I bought it. Probably an equal amount in parts and maintance over the years. That works out to $611 per year. I did all the work my self except for tire changes and wheel alignment.
