SirTanon, I just consider anyone who gets a quarter million (or a car that makes it to 250,000) out of a passenger to have gotten their money's worth.
Sure it is nice to get 300+ from a car you like. This is great, it is like you earned it. Kind of like an antique tag. In my state, once you get one registration is free I am pretty sure.
So I mean it as a good thing that you got your money's worth. Now, you are done paying for her and she can pay you back.
It probably pains the UAW people to see cars they spent so much time, money, and Earth metals on to end up junked out at a hundred thousand. But I bet they are pleased to see cars make it to a quarter million plus!
