Me, too. I have some el cheapo Nashbar and Hind shorts that I bought in 1995 or 1996, and they are still going strong. Machine wash after every ride, drip dry.
Now I have 3 Terry Commuter Skorts and a pair of Voler shorts and a pair of Ibex 3/4s, so they are taking some of the work load of my old shorts. They also get washed in the machine and drip-dried after every ride.
I'm a super sweaty monster (salty-crusty sweaty!). The washing machine is my friend.

Actually I find that what really wears off my shorts is the rubbing from pedalling, not the washing. They sort of wear off around the crease of the thigh, inside the leg. I've changed my saddle position a little so it might help in reducing the lycra-chafing. That's where they break down first...
