From a cute article I read
http://tags.jalopnik.com/5121491/how-old-is-your-car-in-people-years...
Like dogs and fine wine, cars age differently than humans, giving us a skewed perception of car age. But now there's a formula to tell us how old your car is in people-years.
We have to tip our hat to the folks at Blue Donut for putting together this interesting formula for determining age:
There's a simple formula for calculating this (a formula I invented). Take the mileage on the car's odometer and divide by the model year. The result is your car's age if it were a person.
Example: a 1993 Cadillac Allante with 62,000 miles on it. Do the math:
62,000/1993 = 31.1.
Amante is 31!!! woo hoo!.
