3500...... That is VERY true and VERY strange......I was ironically going to pop the top this weekend if weather permits (and it appears that it shall) --- and see what magic lies inside!!!

Well, I have had the car less than 2 years and have only driven it for about 14 of those months (winter storage). But, I've done over 17,000 miles, that's over 1,200 per month...one day here one day there...when it's nice out. So, I drive, and clean it. I don't have time to search & see the engine!

I've seen the underside of the engine, does that count for anything?

I've seen mine. Not because of curiosity, but necessity. Over the years I've changed the air filter, MAF sensor, and air/oil separator.

Unless you have some work to do in the engine compartment the experience is overrated, in my opinion.
