Maybe there's a thread like this already on here but if there is I couldn't find it. Who has the oldest fleet? Winner gets internet brownie points.

For me, oldest to newest, I have:

1991 Miata

1998 Boxster

2002 Silverado

2012 Mazda3

That puts me at an average vintage of 2000 (specifically September of 2000), which makes my fleet an average of 22.25 years old.

damn, i feel rich, my fleet average (not including monzora) is only 11 years.

(2010 + 2010 + 2010 + 2018) / 4 = 2012

even by odo i feel rich.

(231k + 156k + 101k + 46+k) / 4 = 133.5k

 

EDIT: Throw in monzora and average age jumps to 20 years, and odojumps to 148k (using 206k from the donorvette as monzora's odo)

1988.1. If I remove a couple that are on long, long term inop status it jumps all the way to 1989.5. And there's a cluster at that year, too - four 1990s.

 

Three vehicles. 

1990 Corvette

1996 Corolla

1997 Chevy C1500

Averaging out to 1994, or 29 years old.

I do not foresee anything newer for me on the horizon. I'm happy. If anything, the Corvette will hit the block and be replaced by something older.
