My 2006 Toyota Corolla and I are both getting along in years. While seven years of a human life is said to equal one year in a dog's life, my guess is eight human years is about one car year. Since my Corolla is 10 years old, that puts me and my Corolla about the same age - 80 years old.
My Corolla and I both have annual maintenance to keep us going. I’m fairly healthy and my car is also in good shape, so I thought I would do a comparison.
I keep a notebook in my car to record trips to the doctor for income tax purposes. I was shocked when I checked it last week - 39 trips. Except for a clot in my leg, I haven’t had any serious health issues. Records for the Corolla show three visits for maintenance: new tires and two routine 5,000 mile oil changes. Thirty-nine to three is not close.
So this leaves me with a question. Did Toyota make a better product than Mom and Dad?
