miles and miles of smiles!...
alas,
today marked the day that my baby finally hit the 90,000 mark....(sheds a tear)
I was there when i took her in 2003 with only 49,000 miles on the clock...
I was there when she hit 75,000...only to witness the next day to have my car burglerized (that's another story)
and now after 15,000 miles driven within that time period, my girl has suceeded to survive with the original engine & rear end...I still got the original tranny but it'll be a future rebuild project...
However I'm so proud of my thirdgen!!!
and plan to take her into the 100 K mark!
I'll get a pic of this historic mark! hehe

I saw my old 85 maro hit the 150k mark. Original trans, rear, and engine. All of it was never rebuilt and still ran amazingly strong

Re: miles and miles of smiles!...
My old white GTA had about 168k on it when I got rid of it, IIRC. I found a way to smoke the rings trying to tune it (blowby), otherwise I probably would've driven it longer.
