Anyone else yet to own a car in the 2000's?

Just throwing this out there.

I'm in my early 30's avid car guy, but have yet to own a car that was made in the 2000's

Current stable

DD 1998 Honda Accord (auto) bought for 400 bucks. Put a trans in it. No real rust YET. 245k a/c works.

1997 dodge stratus (auto).. needs to sell soon.. never had an issue. Rusty

1994 Plymouth duster with a 3.0l 5 speed 3.77 geared .. old autox 4x local GS champion.

1990 Dodge Daytona 3.0l (3.50 geared) one off single turbo car (owned since high school)

1994 Miata..

1991 gmc 8ft bed 5 speed 2wd ext cab 350 truck.... Brand new to me...

Love me some K cars

Maybe people should stay off my lawn lol I'm old and grumpy

P.s. all are not in my lawn, but in a covered concrete floored garage.

I'm close. If it weren't for a 2000 Cherokee (Which i don't think should count) and a 2004 Miata, i'd be there.

i have an 05 avalanche and an 07 express. every week i think that i'd have zero trouble finding a 90's tbi crew cab and driving that instead of the avalanche. my heart is with the 90's chevy trucks but i went from 94 burb to the avalanche for kid and trailer hauling(at the same time).

It felt weird when I got my first 2000's car in 2009. LOL Then I jumped a decade forward and bought a brand new 2015 Mazda6 last year!

Until the past year, I was stuck in the 90's firmly. Now, I have a 2012 Burb and 2014 Jetta tdi....

Out of 30 or so cars I have only owned one built in the 2000s. My current daily driver is close at 1999.

I've never had anything newer than 1994. Bikes are different though; I currently have an '05.5 and '12 KTM, because bike suspension technology has come so far in the last decade.

You might be surprised at how far cars have come in the last 15 years as well. The difference in the transmission between a 2000 Grand Cherokee and a 2014 is pretty spectacular. I've got cars ranging from 1966 to 2010, and there's definitely been progress.

Well, you guys have me beat. My newest car was a 2004 until a couple months ago.

I have/had cars that were built into the 2000s, though mine were all 90s examples, does that count?

+1. Commuting with a '99 Miata is a whole lot different than a '14 Fiesta, that's for sure. Ignoring the obvious differences.

I've been seeing that for my whole career, and felt it was time to update what I drive.

Newest vehicle I've owned is my 00 F-350.

2010's

2000's

1990's

1980's (I do borrow an 80's car a lot)

1970's (I do have a 70's MC)

My newest car is an '88.

I've been going backwards. When I started on here, it was with a 2002 bought new, then went 1993, then 1977, then 1998, then 1988 and 1997. Next year plan on getting in the 2010s, since I'm kind of iffy with so many old cars.

My newest car is a '95. It's the newest thing I've ever owned. My dd is a '85. Just bought a "new car" that is a '93. Project car is a '77. Truck/trash hauler is a '66.

I drive a lot of rental cars thanks to a lot of work travel, so I can confidently say that I'm not missing anything with newer cars.

I caved a few years ago and bought an '08 Lexus. Ya know, this technology thing might be more than a fad...

I'm in my late 20s and have never owned anything newer than '95. I'd have a Toyobaru if I wasn't so damn broke though. The S1k and ND look interesting too.

I bought an '02 Volvo in November. Before that, the latest model car I owned was a 1990. (The "newest" car I owned was an '88, in 1998)

So if you listen to the people who say a decade starts with a 1-year, I haven't owned any 90s cars ever...

I own four vehicles. One is not from the 2000's.

my newest is a 2000. Sadly living in a rust prone area demands ever newer cars as the old ones dissolve . I'd happily DD something from the 80's the the salt would destroy it.

I have a 2013. It's safe with crumply areas and lots of airbags. It's practical. That's about all it has going for it. Aside from that the newest thing owned is from 1997. Older cars are much more rewarding to drive.

I prefer the simplicity of older cars and hate all the nanny systems in the newer cars. I've had 2 1999s but thats as new as I've had.

Early 30's here too. Current stable is 2005 Lancer Evo and 2002 Focus SVT. Don't really care about newer cars because too many features I wouldn't use. Don't really go for older cars anymore because cash for clunkers seems to have ruined local market for cooler pre-2000's cars. People either want too much for a non-running car or I don't want to put a lot of money into fixing someone elses modding screwups. Only 2000's cars I'm looking at right now are FR-S or ND Miata. For used I've been searching for the right S2000. I used to buy older cars 'cause of lack of money but it's not as much of a problem anymore. Older crap I've owned in the past decade: '96 B14 SE-R, '86 Corolla AE86, '90 NA Miata, and '88 CRX Si.

About 5 or 6 years ago, I picked up a 1997 Eagle Talon for $400. It's the first fuel injected car I've ever owned. Have an '85 Camaro and a few other cars older than that. Maybe someday I'll venture into the new millenium for automotive thrills, but newer cars are just so overloaded with too much unnecessary stuff.
