From what everyone says who's never owned one it should be in the bone yard by now.

BTW, don't feel so bad. I only put about 3k on my 05 last year.

My '05 has 190,000 miles on it.

I change the oil when the DIC says to.

In some parts of TX, that's how far it is to mail box at the county road from the front porch of the ranch . . . . . . .

For me, 520 miles is just east of Nashville with another 4 hours to go. If you want an investment in art, buy art, not a car. You've got the climate to live in right. Now get out there and enjoy life.

Of course, the mandated 1 year oil change and 5 year coolant change fits right in with the 5 year tire change. Those dates are chiseled in stone and can't be violated no matter how little you drive. The maintenance police will surely confiscate your car, claiming automotive abuse for non-compliance.
