Default 40000 Miles

Well I still love my S but I guess she is finally a teenager in my mind. Something about seeing mileage numbers in the teens, 20s and 30s always made me feel like the car was brand new. She rolled over 40k on a trip to Grove City yesterday to pick up my lil bro from school. The car just feels a bit older now. I know these cars can run forever when properly taken care of and I am only putting 5k a year on her or so (April '09 to Sept '13 was 18300 to 40000 miles.) I hope to be able to keep her forever and give her a nice refresh in the winter of '15 which will be her 10th birthday.

Man I love these cars!

Its always such a bummer seeing the mileage going up, but at the same time you always want to get it out and drive it. No sense of letting it be a garage queen.

I bought mine with 42k and it just rolled over 54k a couple weeks ago. I hate to see it go up but I'm doing exactly what these cars were made to do. DRIVE
I've come to terms that my car isn't perfect. Its far from perfect in my eyes so I don't feel so bad when I see a new stone chip in the hood or fender anymore lol
I wanted that perfect one when I was looking for an S, but I jumped on mine because the price was great. Maybe someday ill have a minty one I can putt around in.

I love the car! I guess it is like looking at a kid and realizing they aren't a baby anymore. Time just kind of flies!
