Phil's car is a "high mileage" car compared to the one I posted in the initial post. He has about 3,200 miles his car.

BTW - I never thought I would refer to Phil's car as being a "high mileage" car. After Phil reads how I described his car, I think there may be a frantic call made to his therapist to schedule an emergency session, which will be billed at 2 -1/2 times the normal rate.

Already had my session at 7AM. Just in time for me to take the TT back to the dealership to have the convertible top mechanism replaced for the fifth time!!!!

I wish my brother (a psychiatrist) could treat me, but he can't be objective, plus he has the same disease as I do.

Sorry, but I am bored today and tired of looking for jobs that don't exist so I thought I would a little! hee hee
Yes, I have no picture taking or photoshop skills. Perhaps I could hire someone to make me a cool avatar like the rest of the kids!

BTW, that's not pink, it's red....well maybe it does look pink....damn!

Assuming Phil's car is exactly 5 years old, and his mileage is exactly 3200, that makes it 640 miles/year. So, I guess mine is the second lowest MPY, and most likely the second lowest total miles on this board. At 5800 miles and 8 years and 1 month old, I have 717 miles/year. And never driven on a wet road.

I'm .... speechless. Only my '65 e-type had fewer miles. I owne it 3 years and my brother owned it for around that long. I think we put around 200 miles on it during our combined ownership. Now that car was really a trailer queen. Truly beautiful car. I won several awards with it in regional and national concours events, but I never really enjoyed owning it.

Hell, I'd buy it tomorrow if it didn't have the red gauges and red stitching!
