Millie is Unofficially Semi-Retired (or something like that)

Picked up a couple of old Volvos to play with and daily drive. Millie is now officially a "lady of leisure".

I hated putting so many miles on that car (14k in 8 months or so). Now I can just drive it when I want to....and when it makes more sense...ie, not during rush hour! I never did do any short trips...the wife's Sienna gets that rotten duty.

I figure now I should be able to keep her below 100k by the time I retire (7-10 years). Then Millie can be my geezer retirement car! She'll be about 32 - 35 years old and just hitting her prime by then Just like me
