WHY I SOLD AT 9200 MILES

[GraphiteGTS]

I'm kinda like WANTED. I like keeping her in great condition. My autos have always been more than just cars to me and I enjoy the ownership. I like driving and I like polishing.
However, I'd never infringe another's right to "ride 'em hard and put 'em up wet". That's your business.

Cisco said when he got his Viper he was going to literally run the *** out of it. Said he'd like to see someone try and stop him.
Right, Cis?

I know exactly what you mean WANTED. But I don't like to put a lot of effort into cleaning and polishing the Viper, so I just sell it every time one gets dirty. Heck, even if I only put 20 miles on it I can't stand the feeling of driving something used so I put it up for sale.

Hmmmm....I guess you didn't sense my sarcasm here. But the Blackwood is the modern day Edsel and that's why I drive it. It's more rare than a Viper. But seriously at first I thought WANTED was just another garage gueen/Windbreaker/Zaino Freak, but then it looks like he put more miles per year on his Viper than I do. There is something psychological to buyers about seeing a car with over 9,999 miles on it. That and with internet search engines I guess if you had 10,001 miles on a Viper and someone did a search for cars under 10,000 miles they'd miss the car. So I guess I can't fault WANTED if he got a good price. To each their own I guess.

Personally, I kind of get attached to things and find no point in trading in my Viper for a newer one or one with less miles. I know I took good care of it and all the major stuff has been fixed. If I bough another used Viper it'd be a crap shoot. This freakin' cars aren't going to fall apart when they hit 10,000 miles though. Plus I'll never get the money out of my mods and couldn't stand having a stock Viper so I'd just end up dumping $10,000 or so in mods into a replacement Viper.
