J.R. Polk & Co. has good news for everyone still driving a ’90s-vintage car. You’re not driving an “old” vehicle after all.

According to the latest report by the Michigan-based automotive research firm, cars 11 years of age or older currently account for more than 41 percent of the U.S. fleet. In fact, researchers now put the median age of U.S. vehicles at 9.2 years, tying the all-time high reached in 2006.

“We continue to see increasing durability across all vehicle types,” says Dave Goebel of Polk. Though they don’t have a life expectancy as long as that of passenger cars, pickups and SUVs reached a median age of 7.1 years, also tying the all-time high set in 1998. A record 5.2 percent of all cars and trucks hit the scrap heap in 2007.
