- chrisseaton 6y ago> the average age of a modern vehicle is 11.4 years I don't think you can use this statistic on its own to say how many live >20 years can you?
- totalZero 6y agoI don't believe I did that.
- chrisseaton 6y agoWell how is the statistic relevant then? Why did you mention it?
- totalZero 6y agoNot sure why you're going after me, but I believe it's relevant because if I'm judging the expected lifetime of a car, it makes sense to know the age of an average car. I looked it up after reading the parent comment so I shared the information for others to benefit from it as well. The post has a couple of upvotes so presumably others also found it relevant.
