smiles per miles

[bernhund]

This week my Noble has celebrated its 20,000 miles in my possession birthday. So I decided to work out how much it has cost me (purchase price only)per millimetre smile miles. Assuming I have a permanant 60mm smile on my face all the time I'm driving it.(highly likely) The answer is 2 pence per millimetre of smile per mile.
I reckon that's good value AND the bonus is 'the more miles I cover, the cheaper that smile becomes'
Too much time on my hands?

Mine's working out slightly more expensive at the moment, but i smile about the car when i think of it.........does that count?

Plus of course the amount of times you've grinned just because you own it, even when you're not driving it!

Unfortunately the 'millimetre smile miles' does make it sound cheap. The reality is so far, its cost me £1.25 per mile and that doesn't include repairs, insurance, tax or fuel.
I prefer to live in the smile miles world.

my misses just said "i know its a pain in the arse, i know its a huge waste of money and i know im not supposed to say this but you cant ever sell that car...ever, i love it sooooo much." (and you all wondered why i let her drive it!)

my smile spreads from ear to ear

oh and happy birthday to your nob!
