Yeah, well, if you look at the length of the list of cars you will notice we kept buying them!
We haven't stopped, we just haven't felt the need to replace the Altima yet.
It only has 139,440 miles on it, uh, and holding. The odometer motor burned out last March, so it's actually about 149,000 at this point.
   It has dented areas in both front door jamb and thresholds plus a tear in the rear of the armrest from the buckle ending up someplace it does not belong.
