Default Returning to the Fold

After debating on which car to buy next, I thought about the cars I have had. The only one I ever regretted getting rid was the S2k. So Ive bought another, pick up today, shes a 2008 Moonrock, Black Interior, Red Seats, wait for it, 1 Lady owner 4003, miles. YES 4003. Been kept in garage all its life. Vtech is about to come alive for the first time! If I can find a road without snow? What a day to collect, will post pics soon, I know its gonna be nice to be back!

I did a thousand miles in my first week how the hell does some one only do that a year?

Good find though and be safe picking it up in this weather.

Congrats on the purchase! Sounds like a very well kept / underused example.

Reminds me of when I picked mine up (https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/753...t__p__17855470) it was during the snow of 2009, and I'd never driven a rear wheel drive car before!

Take it easy on these roads - look forward to the pics !

Sounds fantastic !

I also bought a garage queen back in the Autumn with an embarassingly low mileage. But when you look at 'howmanyleft dot something' its not really surprising that these gems keep tuning up. There are continuously several hundred sorned throughout the year. On top of that some people tax cars and still dont use them !


We see threads on here for the highest mileages..... often wonder what whould come out of the woodwork if we had one for the lowest total or annual ?
