My Mazda passed 125,000 miles and like most high-mileage cars, little things were starting to wear out. So I bit the bullet, hugged it goodbye, sold it, and bought a new car - a 2-door Mini Cooper Hardtop.
It's been over 12 years since I bought a new car and boy have things changed. You need an engineering or computer science degree just to drive it off the lot. The dealer spent an hour and a half going over the technology in the car, but I couldn't remember half of what he said. I did manage to make it home without running into or over anything, but I'm going to have to study the user's manual before I figure out how to turn on the radio.
