It is a great thing that the cars are much better and getting better all the time. They need to because the Average driver is getting worse at the same rate as the improvement in the cars!

My TC was indeed a fleet vehicle. Monterrey County California owned it. It had just over 23K miles on it when I got it. There were plenty of scuffs in the interior and some ugly dents that I'll eventually fix all of, proving that if you don't own it, you don't necessarily care very much. But, it was mechanically perfectly maintained. I still changed all the fluids except the transmission fluid. That's going to get changed next time I change the oil. It ran a little rough when I got it, probably from sitting. It seems to like being run more, since it has smoothed out noticeably since I got it. I have put just over 2K on it in four months, so it's not like I'm turning it into a high mileage vehicle in any hurry. I am a year from officially qualifying as an old dude, and I drive the van like an old dude. The Daytona 675 does an indicated 170, and I have gone that fast on it. On the track. I won't admit what I may or may not have done and may or may not still do on a public road. The bike was made for that. The van was made to poke along in the slow lane. It isn't all that much fun to drive anyway. Better than the full sized van it replaced, but it's no sports car.
