They just get better with age. It would be sadder if you just stuck it in the garage and didnt drive it.

Every relationship needs to stay fresh 10k. Like everything else in life you get out of it what you put into it. So c'mon over here, sit a spell and listen up.

Detail her from bumper to bumper, inside and out. I'm talking q-tips in the holes in the wheels, catching those pesky drips from the front fender vents and doorhandles, and don't forget to spiff up those exhaust tips to a blinding shine. Don't even think about leaving streaks on the windows and get a nice soft (never used) paint brush or mushroom brush to get all the specks of dirt around the parking brake and your shifter boot. I'm talking the whole nine yards here. Now, when you're all done she's gonna rust her rotors just a little bit. Surprise her (and you ) by finding a nice little twisty road with a couple of short straight aways to go rompin on, and let'er loose!

You'll fall in love all over again and live happily ever after (well, until the next detailing and windy road driving weekend)

my 04 is 19020. It's in for the tank recall now. I hate when the miles pile up but oh well that's what it's meant for. It's my second car but I still put over a thousand on it a month. I just love to drive it. To and from work is 40 miles and on the weekends, I drive about 70 miles.

Put 1/2 teaspoon of banana extract on a corner of the floor mat. It's like "new car smell", only better
