How old is your car?
The title should have said: How old is your car in people years?
There's a simple formula for calculating this. Take the mileage on the car's odometer and divide by the model year. The result is your car's age if it were a person.
Example: a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier with 131,824 miles on it. Do the math:
131824/1994 = 66.1.
That car would be a 66 year old person.
In the case of a low-mileage Volvo from 1986 with 14,000 miles. That equates to just a touch over seven years, meaning there's a lot of life left in those wheels. What about you — how old is your car?
I know I'm very bored

Just for grins I ran the formula in reverse and found that if I was a car I'd have 118,767 miles on me. I think I'm in need of new ball joints and could probably use a good radiator flush.
