Previously, I was under the impression that 10 years was considered old for a car and usually got rid of them before then. I've owned several cars and 2 in particular hit the decade mark with 120-130k miles on the odometer.
Goal: 20 Years @ 2027
This time around, I've been more careful with my 2007 Lexus sitting at 12.4 years, which is both the oldest car I've ever owned and to my surprise the average age of most cars in the Western United States. The Lexus is doing surprisingly well and I'm hoping to keep it for 8 more years until 2027.
I've got warranty coverage for 2 more years until 2021 so I just need to 'survive' 6 more years on top of that. But if it doesn't last...no biggie, I can just pick up a Civic or Corolla for under $10k and start a new odyssey.
With 72k miles on the odometer and 8k miles more per year. I'll hit 136k miles by the 20th year mark, which also seems reasonable considering my old daily beaters hit that mark.
By happenstance I own several Sony ZX Series Headphones: ZX-100 ZX-110 ZX-310 Build Quality (ZX-310 Wins) They use mostly a Plastic Build that is quite durable; the ZX-100 I've had for over 2 1/2 years and been thrown about in my Backpack & Car. The ONLY issue with the lower model ZX-100 & ZX-110 Series are the crappy Earpads that disintegrate and create a flaky vinyl mess. Those flakes then get stuck to your ears & hair. The ZX-310 wins in that regard with much better quality Earpads. Cost (ZX-100/110 Wins) ZX-310's cost about twice that of the ZX-100/110 and I've been able to find several 310's for about $18 at Discount Retailers. ZX-110's should go for about $10. Specs They are all 30mm Drivers. The ZX-310 has a wider Frequency Range of 10 ~ 24,000 Hz and a Gold 1/8" Plug. The ZX-100/110 are roughly identical going 12 ~ 22,000 Hz. Sound (ZX-100 Wins) Surprisingly, I prefer the ZX-100's Sound Signature vs. the 110 and 31
