I think this is the fourth car we've had since I joined lj. All Skodas. All second-hand. All, except theonetwo that got run over, driven until they died.
Annoyingly, if it had been just gone Easter next year, we could have pretty much managed without a car at all. The one regular long trip that cannot be done by public transport is getting LL to rubgy practice on a Sunday (and I'm trying to persuade her that taking a term or two off would be a good idea as too many knocks to the head before exams is not a good thing).
ETA: number of cars written off by others.
