The car has Nebraska plates - I'll have to ask about it at the next PCA gathering.

Personally, my goal is to drive the p!ss out of my car to a point where it literally falls apart the day before I die. Call me stingy, but I'm not saving it for the next guy ..... -- Curt

6195 divided by 25 is 248 miles per year...not even a full tankful of gas

sorry, but IMHO, that's called car abuse

Another example of a car with very low miles. Probably needs some work, as cars like to be driven every so often.

I'd be afraid to buy a car with mileage that low. I mean, what do you do with it ?? Stick it in the garage and never drive it, or take it to the track ??

I've always been curious as to how someone could own such a nice car and never drive it

That is the air pump. Call me skeptical, but it is extremely easy to turn the clock back on that speedo. Very, very easy. Or like I had to do, put a new speedo into the car, heck mine reads under 10K but I'll swear to 115K.

I feel sorry for these owners. They keep the car in such low miles and afraid to drive it because it migtht depreciate. This is not the way to treat a sport car. The appreciation can never make sense anyway.

Yeah - I think it was Jack O who said something to the effect... "it's like being married to Heidi Klum and never sleeping with her"... Such a pity.

I bought my car July of last year with 92K on the clock. Two weeks ago it rolled over 100K, after having sat in storage all winter. Eight thousand miles in 6 months of driving. The best part is that now I don't have to worry about rolling it over 100K anymore. I can just drive the wheels off the thing.

Looking forward to 200K,
Nate

Yeah, but what a drag if you only slept with her only once in four years – she leaves you – you see her a year later with two kids in tow, and she can’t keep her hands off the guy she’s with now – and he’s got that sheit eating grin that you have every time you get out of your Porsche car! The injustice of it all!

Oh, I'd be the guy with the grin!

6 months, 6,000 miles so far. Great experience. I will drive, repair, drive repair.
