It finally occurred to me what to add to this thread. This was 2005 or so, so details are approximate.
A car I haven't seen before turns up for sale on the curb along my way in the neighborhood.
Original owner, 1988 Camry wagon. Excellent condition, meaning it must have spent its life garaged. Something short of 50,000 miles on it. A month later, same thing, but a similarly old Volvo with similarly minuscule mileage for its advanced age.
I didn't need a car, but I contemplated it, and I wish I'd asked just to find out the story. Unless they were driving their other four cars (I doubt it), they were quiet Mustachians before the word existed.
