Sometimes I drive around in my 2010 Mazda 5 and I feel...well, kind of sad. I want to pull the trigger on a new car but with inflation and the soaring price of gas, I just keep waiting and riding out my Dragon Wagon, as I call her.

Now I find out that I'm not alone, in fact I'm the norm! According to The Wall Street Journal, the average age of a car in the country is 12.5 years old! I also own a 20 year old bicycle if anyone wants to do a study on that.

If you are planning a summer trip, you might want to avoid some of these spots.
