    Calling all high mileage cars!!!

    I'm on a quest to find other high mileage f-body owners. Chime in and prove that Hondas and Toyotas aren't the only cars out there that can run forever, except ours do it while making real power. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] Also take a moment to brag about any engine mods that have stood the test of time.

    I've got a little over 202,000 miles right now on a pretty stock engine. In that time I've gone through a transmission, driveshaft, radiator, water pump, heater core, 3 alternators, 2 tensioner pullies, tie-rod ends, and a set of rear bearings. The engine is still strong as ever, though. [img]graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

    How about you guys?

              My car is just a youngster...93,000+ miles.

              It's a 1995 with a 3.8 V6 bought with 42,000 miles in 1998. The only parts replaced: Battery, brakes, plug wires and a noisy headlight motor.

              It's only a occasional driver, but still runs like a champ! [img]smile.gif[/img]
