<VV> now age of vehicles

[corvairduval at cox.net]

I don't even own anything that new!

I do not purchase depreciating assets, not a good use of capital for me. 

Let other people take the heavy depriciation and let me drive for small
money.

Hey, That's how I got into Corvairs in the 70's!

Harry, I spent a few hours out west in wrecking yards, and their age seemed
the same. What a sight seeing rust free bodies thrown away of recent
vintage.

But, when I was in yards back in the 70's, most of the cars were from the
60's, so even then cars would end up disposed by 6 to 8 years of age, so
they are on the road longer now than then.  Average age of vehicles in
service is now over 11 years, way longer than ever before.

I frequent a local salvage yard and I notice incoming inventory. The peak
for junking a car at this yard (and I'm sure is similar at other eastcoast
yards) is 11-12 year old cars.
