I would guess what that would mean (by my short 45 years of experience) that the tires
were not spun, the car was not power shifted, the speedodometer never pegged, the oil
was not changed on time, the chassis has not been lubricated, the brakes have been
rebuilt but the rotors and drums have never been turned, it has the wrong weight oil
in it, the transmission never serviced on schedule, and the cheapest fuel has been run
through it without the benefit of an injector cleaner added to to the tank
occasionally.
    That is why when I remarried, my wifes '89 Taurus only brought $900, though it was
a 83k, female driven cream puff with all the records. (and the air worked!)

I hate taking sides ... but ...

Philosophical Point of this tirade:  Estrogen seems to do just as much damage to cars
as Testosterone, just in more sutble ways ...

    Oh, and those paint chips missing on the front bumper aren't from tailgating by
any chance, are they?

    Have a nice one!
