Does the passing of another year make you feel old? Well look on the bright side, it’s nothing compared to how your dog feels! But what about man’s other best friend, the automobile? Here’s an amusing and easy math problem to calculate how old your car would be if it was a person, courtesy of Blue Donut. Just take take your car’s mileage and divide it by its model year.

That makes our JNC wagon (a 1986 Cressida with about 109,000 miles) 55 years old. Don’t feel bad, wagon. 55 is the new 30! How old is your car?

Wow I thought the old girl was shy of 40 but looks like she is 70 according to your calculations Mike

68,600/1970 = 34 years old!

I guess my ZX is immortal...ageless, maybe? Since the odometer doesn't work it's kind of hard to know...

S130:

77,823/1979=39 years old (when stopped counting-guess the car didn't want to turn 40!)

Infiniti:

137155/2001=68.5 years old...

The 280Z is almost 50 and the 810 works out to a little over 62 but the truck is about 116. Based on the records I have for it and a little theorizing it believe the odometer has rolled twice so 227,515/1964=115.84.

78,000/1972 = 39.6 Years !

48,800/1976= 24.7 years.

Well, I don't know the TRUE mileage on my 240Z.

If the odometer hasn't rolled over then it's

41618/1971=21.1

or more likely:

141618/1971=71.9

By the way, by that calculation most of the cars that I have owned were over 110 by the time I sold them. (Or more often gave them away...)

My currently daily driver would be over 40, and I consider it to be a "new" car.

(82000/2003 = 40.9)

My 240Z is either 74 (146250/ 1973) or 125 (246250/ 1973), not sure which.

My 350Z is a mere 20 (40850/ 2004) though....
