...but since the odometer resets at 100K, I'm not entirely sure if I have 250,000 or (what I think is the case) 350,000 miles. Of course...that IS over the course of more than thirty years! (The car is a 1979.) And after driving home in the pouring rain, I think I need to spend some time washing and polishing this weekend. (Frigging black paint...)

Damn near twenty years now. (I have been racking my brain to remember exactly when I bought it and am drawing a blank.)
Holy shit, I think that means I am getting old!

That's a long way to lug a bag of golf clubs...

Actually, I do not think the car has EVER had golf clubs in it.

Perhaps a corpse in the trunk, then.

Once...my mother's basset hound.
Hell, now I'm depressed.

What a waste...why even own a truck you never drive?

If I never drove it, it wouldn't have 37,000 miles on it.

I put that on my Magnum in a year. Why own a truck you put less than 4000 miles on in a year? Waste of money.

One man's waste of money is another man's investment.
Some wise guy once said that.

About the same as my Cherokee, then.

I didn't think Subaru sold the Outback in Australia...I thought it was US and Canada only.
