Seeing some friends flop cars all the time blows my mind, as I find cars I like, and hold on to them. Just recently sold a car that I had for 12 years, and my truck that I had for 6, leaving me with my X5 that I have had for 2, and intend to hold on to for quite some time, and my old Honda that I have had for at least 15 years, and have no intention to ever get rid of. That car is more of a toy now, it has more track time than street time in the last 6 years.
Overall I think the same idea applies in other areas of life. I enjoy home a/v, yet my TV is quite a few years old now, and not anything fancy, but it does what I need. I did buy a new receiver and a few newer speakers this year, both high quality and used, and should last my needs for a long time. Bought a new Mtn. bike, but my last ones lasted me 18 years, and I still have it kicking around, yet I see guys trading up to the new models every year... etc.
