Thinking more on it too...

My S2000's value because of the mileage is only $4k less. I can't imagine _NOT_ driving her because I want to keep the mileage low just to have it value an additional $4k.
Ditto. The miles I have logged are worth much more than the depreciation.

Priceless as a matter of fact.

I was just cleaning/polishing/rubbing the car this past weekend and found that I am just as enamored with it as the day I got it. To this day (including this morning when I was pulling off the car cover) I get people approaching me and asking/talking about the car. That wouldn't happen if it was always stuck in the garage.

p.s. Still looking for the "badge man" for this thread. I have other interested members that need it.

Glad to see this thread still going.

As far as the badge goes, I just ended up right clicking and saving someone elses badge into my pics and adding it to my signature.

I did the same as 1Fast.

I should probably stop leeching bandwith and host my own copy before it gets swapped for tubgirl, goatse or 2girls1cup though. Heh.

I am at 20,000 with 4.5 years of ownership. At this rate, I should hit 100,000 by 2025.

LOL!! Reminds me of those 2006 Ferarri F430s you see with a whopping 700 miles on the odometer!

If and _when_ I ever have the LIKES of a Ferrari...I can assure you ONE of my trips alone will be well over 700 miles.
I saw a 1990 Corvette ZR-1 for sale on eBay the other day.

60mi on the odo. (That's NOT a typo.) That's an average of 3.3mi per YEAR!

The car was about $60k new (in 1990) and it is going to sell for about $40k (2007 dollars.)

Not a very good investment.

That's just stupid. Imagine the amount of work you'll need to do on that car because everything has just been _sitting_



All new fluids...probably new seals too...Ugh!
