still have their wedding-gift Cuisinart from 1981. And the microwave they got before they were married. They will replace them when they no longer function properly.

I have the TV (big heavy CRT) I inherited from my grandmother's estate when she passed away in 1999 - it was a few years old at the time, and still works fine. I will replace it only when it quits working.

My 1988 Honda Accord isn't pretty anymore, but it runs ok and the replacement can wait a while longer - I will get a Yaris because I seriously DON'T need a car as big as even a Corolla or Civic.

Note: The Cuisinart gets used almost daily, and has all along.
