I knew I should have gotten an indestructible Jap box.

I missed the 7 and hit 8. I realized that after posting but didn't figure anyone would read it anyway.

Miles are miles no matter how far apart they are. Just because I only put 20k on it doesn't mean it's got the same wear as a vehicle with only 20k on the clock. 190k is still 190k.

>Miles are miles no matter how far apart they are

u fuckin wot m8. Sitting without running is literally the worst thing you can do for a car, second only to driving such short trips that you never get up to operating temperature. Actually it might be worse.

It's a recipe for losing literally every single seal in the car, gummed up fuel system, stuck rings, every plastic part crumbling, and the list goes on. A car with 150k miles daily driven and well-maintained is a better bet than a car with 75k miles that has only had 1k a year for the last two.

I miss that car. 50k miles and only a $400 repair. No owners manual too, so maintenance has been proactive.
