Elapsed miles are an interesting factoid but, the significant thing IMHO is that in the 8 1/2 months since I bought Marlene (2/27/03) I've driven her a shade over 15,000 miles.

Jeeze! That's about 1750mi/mo and I only have an 16 mile round trip commute to work!!!

Whereintheheck did all the rest of those miles come from?

Four round trips to OKC (two in a 48hr period)
Five round trips to Dickinson
12+ round trips to San Antonio
One round trip to Corpus Christi

That alone is approximately 7500 miles and doesn't count the trips to Leathermang's grass farm to pick Brazosberries or squiring Januz Batko to Panna Maria, San Antonio and the Salt Lick.

But, the best part is I've loved every minute of it and not once has this 20 year-old car left me wondering if I was going to get where I was going.

They truly are "Engineered Like No Other Car in the World"
