The longer the trip the better for me... Miles mean nothing and the Wagon has been to Canada twice so far. If it needs a replacement part I give it to it. I use my wagon every day and I will continue to invest into it until I can't because of a complete lack of parts but, for now there is plenty. I still get compliments about the car and I will keep the car nice because each day it's more rare than the last. I do have some rust but I am taking care of it and I will spend another $1500 or whatever to get it all done and painted, about 4 years or more ago I had the wheel arch rust completely done for $1000 but now the inside of the bottom of the doors is creeping in. The car is worth it to me to spend on, I still love it and I have been amused by those that gave these cars up and have some regrets about how much FUN they are to drive.. and they are. I am more concerned someone just hits it and then it's a write off. I really don't want any other car... Plus it's been great not having any car payments since 2008
