2003 XR6
Low on tech, big on reliability.
Likes a drink but dirt cheap to fix (even though it rarely needs fixing).
Crunches out the kms, year in, year out.
Cash value = stuff all.
Personal value = high.
Still find it difficult to justify 20, 30 or 40k to replace it with a new ride...... so I haven't.

I hate the process of buying a new car but I have the process of selling one more.
