replying due hitting 10k this week, 8 months after 1rst drive.

10k is milestone of sorts, end of 'honeymoon' no-issue period, traditionally, and cap for the much maligned VSC/warranty extension limit for lower end pricing ; did do a 4yr/48k gold pref last week for extra mileage w/Nissan.

My first Z, 08 350e, had a full trans change @ 25k, also 1 rear strut fail, 1 catalytic sensor burnout, about same time -all $5k+ worth covered under stock warranty. Plus window motor replaced after warranty, $380. All to say that VSC seems worthwhile for near term failures.

A DD it is, tinted and getting fog light; would like pressure gauge to replace clock, but problematic. Heard the expression, 'when I rest, I rust'? 'Rust never sleeps' is another way to put it.

Point is, nothing gets better with disuse, rubber compresses, hardens, etc. All electric power probably will dominate around 2025 - 30 too.

Therefore, drive it as much as possible; to work, to play: we're at the end of the ICE age (internal combustion engine) & the start of fuel cell world.

250K in 10 years, anyone?
