I have hardly driven my 92 this year, but racked up miles on my 140K mile 90. I take my daughter out for for drives and that is what makes the car meaingful to me; ice cream drips on the center console, a rogue french fire under the seat....its all about the experience.

I absolutely second what Lee has said. I was a lot more conscious of the miles of AZZURRO-1 at 50K. But ROZA NERO, w 112K on the clock, has freed me up to just enjoy driving the car. The motor has about 36K on it coming from #474. So I don't think much of getting in an taking it out for a spin. And let me tell you guys, with the 3.73s installed, this car has just gotten that much more fun to drive. So I find I want to drive it even more looking for excuses to do it.
Frankly, getting a ZR w 100k on it is the most fun you can have w a car. You just don't give a crap anymore about some phony baloney resale value.
