From a cute article I read

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!.
 
mark 7 is 48.2 wifes van is 30.9 and my surburban is 102.4 man the truck is old lol but looks good for her age
 
My 1970 Chevelle SS is still a teenager.
I think if driving habits were in the equasion all these numbers would change !!
 
my 69 valiant is 30.2,(looks 100)
95 new yorker is 100(looks more like 30)
91 continental is 53.7(looks more like 30 as well)
