I'm at this point. Fifteen years with the same car and even though I've been able to afford a new car for a while, I just never get around to it because it just works. Even if I get what I want, it does not provide a lot of additional utility.

People are amazed how it just runs, because they've seen me abuse the car relentlessly. I just do 4K-5k services and replace whatever breaks during that time.
