I've got one of those old yellow fridges that started out life as off-white. It was in my house when I bought the house. It looked ancient. I debated with myself then whether to dump it and buy a new fridge, but decided to keep it since it was working. It's still working 13 years later. It was an antique when I bought the place and it's 13 years later. A few years ago it started making funny noises. Bumps and thumps. And it goes right on working.
