I have, in all likelyhood, bought my last new vehicle.
I'm 58 (or will be in a couple of weeks) and have a 2007 GMC pickup. My last pickup lasted me 20 years. In the unlikely event that I last longer than 20 years, I'll be too old to need/want another fullsize truck.

The only "economy" I worry about is my bank balance. I don't base my purchases (or lack thereof) on some talking head on TV.
