    ... after putting Sofia away today, I realized she's almost at 69k miles - I bought her with
    64k - that means I've almost put 5 THOUSAND miles on in a year - going NO WHERE!!!

    I'm having mileage guilt sort of - but then I look at the $27K I put into her to sort her
    out to where she's like a new car....

    I wish I was one of those who could disconnect the odometer... but alas I'm not.

    But golly Sweet Jesus she runs well. And I'm Jewish so that's quite a statement :)

    DRIVE THEM I say :)

    If the car had 500 miles when you bought it, I could see some remorse at adding 5000 this year.

    At 64K miles, just enjoy the ride. You're probably just improving the car at this point.

    Don't worry about the miles, your car is getting close to scrap range just like mine already is! (just kidding but that's what some people think!) ;)

    Hey by the way....you weren't driving down Orchard about 4:30 this afternoon were you? I was leaving Meadowpark and heard what sounded like a Ferrari cruising by but I wasn't close enough to the road to see. I did catch a quick glimpse of red that seemed shorter than the rest of the cars that followed. Thought it might be you out for a cruise or on the way home from running to the store!!

    The service schedule is 15K miles or three years. So you're right on target at 5K per year. ;)

    Hard to miss that sound, she sounded sweet!! Only a 2 hour trip for bait?

    Oh, and I put just about 10K miles on mine in the first two years!
