How long can you drive one of these?
I was wondering how old you get when you start thinking that it's just not safe enough to drive these things. I would expect that people can drive the automatics a few years longer than the manuals.
Just trying to figure out how many years I have left

I don't know that you can get to old to drive these things. There are plenty of people out there that are middle aged and shouldn't be allowed to drive at all. Things like eyesight, reaction time, etc... come into play but that applies to any car. As long as you can still get in and out of the darn thing, you still have your vision working for ya, and you're not driving 30 mph on the freeway, keep on driving it!

Til the state says no more. You know it's California.
I finally got $650 buy back letter(I'm sure I'm not the only one here who received it) yesterday and got me think that way.
