"My HP 15c scientific calculator. I got it as a birthday present from my dad back in 1983 when I turned 16. It helped me through high school, was there when I got a masters in engineering and it has been with me for almost my entire career since then. It shows no signs of giving up anytime soon."

We have a '48 GM Frigidaire at our summer camp, it still runs. My grandfather bought it used in the 1960's.

Adela, you're 100% correct, but this one does have a certain novelty to it; there's something about old stuff that just keeps on working, while new stuff made today breaks down shortly.
My neighbors have a light bulb that is well over 100 years old and still works. Would a new bulb provide better light and consume less power? Sure. Would it be as cool? Never. :-)

I also have a 2002 Ford Ranger with 4L engine. It's the only vehicle I've owned and driven for 20 years and I'm still not looking for anything to replace it.
