I'm not. In two more years it will go to my grandson. He will pay whatever the trade in value is by then which won't be much. I no longer have to do the twice a week run to Windsor so the rapid increase in milage of the first three years will no longer apply.
It is also mechanically in better shape then the miles would seem since that was 95% highway. The brake pads and rotors are still like new.

That's awesome that your Grandson will get it!

I knew you had all highway miles so they're mostly insignificant.

He has to buy it from me but then I will put the money aside and give it back to him when he is in college. That way he earned it but gets a suprise later.

Wow, had to bump this from the second page. What's wrong with y'all?

Anyway, drove my FRS to work today, and actually used my horn to not crash on the way home! <GASP> right? Well, a driver pulled up to an intersection to the road I was on and was going to make a left into my lane. There was a big bush blocking their view of me and I just knew they were going to pull out right in front of me, with me having nowhere to go, going downhill. Well sure enough the wheels started turning and I hit the horn just in time. They stopped in the opposite lane and I did not crash.

The end.

So apparently sometime while I was away a spider hatched out a bunch of babies in my car. I had killed a few (a "few" meaning about 100) random ones that appeared yesterday and figured that was it. It is much warmer today and while driving to get some lunch I felt something on the back of my neck. I reach back and my hand returns covered in spiders. I look in the mirror and see my head and shoulders are covered in hundreds (thousands?) of them.
I parked the fastest I ever have and considered just burning the car on the spot but did not crash!

Two hours later.
Sitting in office.
Still finding baby spiders on me.
One was in my ear.
OH GOD I HOPE IT WAS ONLY ONE!
