My thoughts exactly. It will be driven until the maintenance / repair costs annually are >50% of the value of the vehicle.
After it, I have no idea what I'll drive. Still of the conclusion that every vehicle available for sale at the moment is a shitbox. :) (Even my own; if I were to rebuy a "new" example today)
Transport should be functional and not an aspirational accessory package. Sure, there's a lot of fun stuff out there, and a lot of... outrageous stuff out there; but functional.
To me, that would probably be an old school Forester Wagon, AWD, in manual; but they don't make those anymore; and the ones out there are prone to blowing head gaskets.
