1. My last car, 1995 Subaru Legacy GT, at 257,000 miles (its replacement, my current Outback, has 202,000 miles on it).
2. My Eureka Mountain Pass 2XT tent -- the fly is riddled with small holes from the fabric wearing so thin, the bathtub floor was no longer waterproof.
3. Also, I have a t-shirt from my college club volleyball team that is @25 years old; if it were any other shirt, I'd have tossed it years ago -- the fabric is actually tearing away from the printed graphics on the shirt -- but it has too much sentimental value! And yes, I still wear it on occasion!
patrickza -- YES! I do that with the toothpaste tube all the time!
Kitsune -- bright red slingback heels . . . yowza!
