Message	miles round trip to work 5 days a week. I did that in my Z for quite a while. Bought it with 113k drove it to 190k when I had to rebuild the engine. Now it has 260k and is on jackstands in the garage getting some refreshening. Just put a near new trans in it. Doing some little odds and ends before I get ready to cut her loose... eventually. No big hurry anymore. Sometimes I don't even pull the cover back to look at her, but when I do I really enjoy the view and working on her now when time is not of the essence. But I did buy myself a little fuel efficient DD that gets 35mpg. Funny thing is that with the increased fuel prices I'm now paying the same as I was with the Z when fuel was less than half todays prices even though I get almost twice the mileage.
