How old is your rig?

How old is your rig?
I just paid the annual tax fees to keep the Jeep on the road and had a serious discussion with my insurance agent.

My Jeep is now 21 years old and is for all practical purposes a garden ornament.

It runs, it goes, it stops, it climbs trees and swims rivers, but only to the tune of about 1000 miles a year, and I am paying the same price for insurance as I do on my daily driver.

Like myself, as it ages I find more time being spent on keeping it going than on going somewhere in it.

The real problem is that my model is no longer in production and Jeep has not made a comparable product since they stopped making the model I have. So I chase problems and watch small things I can not control fall apart with age so that the vehicles still operates, but not with the efficiency or convenience it once did, again, much like myself.

When does one declare their favorite vehicle "too old to fool with"?

I keep seeing that comic drawing of the WW2 cavalry soldier preparing to shoot his broken down Jeep!
