Is this the BMW?

Well said! It's a marathon, not a sprint!
I like cars too, but I'm choked by the speed limit and bankrupted by the gas prices. I don't know where you live Fastwong, but I live in California. The price for Premium gasoline here is $7.199 per US Gallon (3.78 liters). It's awful! That's about 1.95 Euros per liter for our European friends at current exchange rates! That's super high for USA. Furthermore, the car has a 5.4 liter V8 engine - which is thirsty. And with all the other crazy people on the roads, I find collecting clocks (and watches) to be safer and more enjoyable.
I like to put on significant mileage. My dream is to one day own a Lamborghini Huracan (yes, I know, I've posted this already) and to rack on insane mileage on it. I'd say around 300,000+ miles (500,000 kilometers). The engine is certainly capable. The transmission might have a harder time (dual-clutch trannies have accelerated wear in stop and go traffic). I will complain about the fuel costs. And the tire costs. And all the insurance costs!
Which clocks are on your mind?
