Daily driver, one of my current rigs I've owned for 6 years. Non daily drivers, I tend to keep some longer than others. 68 Mustang that was with me for about 20 years. 1929 Model A Ford has been in the family 48 years, it's been mine for the past 10.

Now underwear.....I've got some that date back......

3 years, ms3. Was a good DD but I was not wealthy enough to keep it and buy an EVO, which I couldn't pass on. Otherwise I would still have it.

98 Honda Civic. 9.5 years (and counting) 219.5K, though technically it stopped being the DD when I bought the MZ3 Aug'10. The Honda's still the local-driving/bad-weather beater.
