Wow, 440,000 miles that's pretty impressive. I bought my 05 roadster last Feb. with 5,000 miles on it and will put about 5,000 miles per year on it. I now have 8,800 miles on the OD.

Let's see 440,000 - 10,000 = 430,000 divided by 5,000 = 86 years from now I'll have 440,000 miles on my Crossfire. That's pretty cool until I realized that I'd be 151 years old then, shi**** my pants and drooling all over, and for sure couldn't find my Crossfire and wouldn't know what to do with it if I did. And even if I could find it I wouldn't be able to find any gasoline to run it as the world ran out of oil 5 years ago.

This is all too depressing maybe I should be putting more miles on my car. See Ya tomorrow, I'm going out for a drive.
