My car is lucky not to be treated like a wus.

I have two cars thankyou very much. If I had more space I would probaly have bought an FB a year ago but my mom didn't like me owning more cars than the rest of the family. 2 cars plus a parts car is enough for her to be pissed. A second rex would make her kill me and I wouldn't like that.

BTW I am building a garage next summer

Because Penssylvania has instituted to the Emissions inspection gestappo in my county.. It will now never see more that 4,999 miles in one year. Thats the cutoff for exemption from the emissions inspection.

It only got 3K on it this year anyway (two oil changes!!!)

2-3K miles a year. My FC is my weekend car, plus gas prices kill me.

Will be buying an FB as a daily driver sometime next and will put 12-15K miles a year on it.

7-12k a year.
I love my car too much to put too many miles on it. Its a lot easier when you have a second car so that you can swap every winter.
