I have to wonder about people who buy a car and insist on no, or very few miles be put on the car. It is as though they want to imagine having their own Automobile Museum, just for them to admire and worship their monument parked in their garage.
I’m just a poor old mechanic who worked most of my life in dealerships as a line mechanic. Personally, I feel that cars are meant to be used, maintained, and kept in as nice condition as possible and at the end of the line, having racked up as many miles as they could over the years. My ‘89 TC has had that opportunity and I was very glad to see the odometer roll over to 300,000 miles on my way back from the TCA Owners Club meeting last September. My TC still looks fairly nice and runs very well. If it could talk, it would tell all those garage queens, “I’ve been everywhere. Many wonderful highway miles over the years.”
