> I've never had a new car either. (I define "new" as "less than about 10 years old".) My first car was 14 when I got it and the one I have now is 12. I hope to be rid of it this year and I am determined that its replacement will be at LEAST a 1996.

Tape deck? Ancient. :P I just got a CD player put in mine last year...it's a single-disc system, admittedly, no changer or remote, but it's just fine for my purposes.
