Your engine is bigger than mine, but your miles are twice as big. Daily driver, yes?

Maybe not strictly daily but i've been using it for work when i do mainly delivering Home IV therapy drugs for a Nation wide Home Healthcare Provider as an Independent contractor. That is about to change as the company thru whom I contract has not raised their rates to match the dramatic increases in the cost of Gasoline so the Job hunt is on in earnest. For the first year owning it I considered myself fortunate to be able to drive it making money all over the Northeast USA but this Gas price BS has taken the profit out of it so its just not worth doing anymore. Just a side note that i bought it a year ago last month with 129,000 miles on it.Originally Posted by ThoreauHD

It's .48 a milefederal mandated reimbursement in my neck of the woods. At the current mpg of our cars, you would see 9.60 of every 10 bucks you spend on gas optimistically. So yea, they need to make up for it in bonuses or get used to attrition. Sorry about that. Love your car btw.

ouch. $0.48 / mile wouldn't do much. I get $0.45 / km as part of my job and still do well, as all my vehicles are payed for and I don't spent much on maintenance.Originally Posted by ThoreauHD
Well done on the mileage

Jeez, I've got a lot of catching up to do. I really need to reassemble my car...
May the Schwarz be with you...
I am a firm believer in driving this car. Time rapidly passes and its viability is thereby limited. Let me get every miligram of enjoyment out of the Ulitmate Driving Machine. The idea of babying it , garaging it so it will be around for a long time to come won't work for me. You should see the nose of this car ,its practically sandblasted white,lol..
