1992 Ford Aerostar. Over 200,000 miles and it has never let me down. General maintainence only. I still have it. I keep my good cars in the garage in the crappy weather and drive the beast. I really like having a van for dirty jobs and backup.

Aerostar...I'm sorry, but hey, glad to see a Ford actually last

Out of my cars, 66 GTO, 93 5.0 LX Mustang, 86 GN, 79 Rx-7, 87 BMW 325is, the Mustang was the most maintaince free - even after being owned by high school kids for the first 108k who took it curb hopping at 50mph in the snow...but, when I did want/need to do something to it, man it was a pain!

BTW, my mom had a 95 Astro, we could never get the brakes to stop squeaking and grabing! Somehow, I think her driving was causing it...it was pretty good except you had to put mid-range gas or some emissions valve(egr maybe? cant remember) would carbon up and kill the car...then, around 150k everything started breaking - the alternator bracket, the a/c compressor, etc...so she moved to a new buick.

[57loboy]

Hmmm... I've had so many cars so far (46 at last count), but here are the ones that come to mind in no particular order:

1984 Ford Crown Victoria ex-RI State Police car - 151k when I got it in 1987, beat the p*ss out of it for 2 years in college and as volunteer firefighter, never broke, not once.

1979 Olds Delta 88 Coupe - got it after it rammed a tree dead center, fixed the nose, noticed it ran rough, drove it 10k miles w/broken pushrod/rocker in high school, repaired that for $25 in parts, took it to college for another year or two before getting the Crown Vic.

1996 VW Golf 4-door, got it new for my wife when first married, she drove it locally for 3 years, I drove it as a consultant for two years between CT and NJ/PA, never broke, traded at 80k for '01 Volvo.

2001/2005 Volvo CrossCountry wagon - wife has had both past/currently, great cars, '05 is a little better overall - '01 was first year of current build.

 

[Aztlanahauc]

My 1987 Buick Regal Limited. 5.0L V8, power everthing. Bought it with 65,000 miles and drove it to hell and back. It had 199,000 miles on it when I sold it.

Miss the car, wish I would have kept it.
