Much the same here too, lots of warnings but nothing happens.

I know the feeling, my 2012 has only 53,000 kms on it. We mostly drive my wife`s Escape in the winter and in the summer my Mustang, my gravel truck and the oldies once in awhile.

I doubt mine will ever see that till one of my sons get it when I`m done with it.

Most of the vehicles I've had are retired with close to 400,000 km's. I don't put as many on them now that I'm retired. My Impala only has 107,000 on it and it's a 2012, I used to put that much on just driving to work in 2 years

Me too, the older I get the less I drive. I still like collecting some old Fords now and then.

I have a lot of things I'd like to do but don't think I'll live long enough to do them or have the money either..

The older I get the less interest I have in doing some things.

I have a dandy one but I`ve lost interest with working on it. I`ve got to get back to it and have it driving down the road this summer. My other 53 and the XL could use a few days of TLC.

I'm hoping I can get that 59 Meteor, even if I don't finish it in a timely fashion it will give me something to do but my winters will still be the same because the two 56's will still get stored in my shop for the winters, the Meteor will have to stay outside under a tarp..

In some way I don't want it because of the expense that is involved but I'd go as far with it as I can then be willing to sell it..

The older restored vehicles seem to be priced pretty high but then I realize that it`s less than what it cost to build them. Now I`ve come to the conclusion that it`s cheaper to buy one done than it is to build one.
