Never went that much. What I meant by that was that my last oil change was at 18000+ miles...I now have 21,000.

You would have to be crazy to run a vehicle 18k with no change out..

first 10 years (70K miles) only one repair: throttle body that went south.

Now for the major maintenance and a few unexpecteds

Clutch, flywheel, IMS upgrade, rear axle service, starter and alternator $4,000.

Shocks, including new mounts (old were shot and cracked), air oil separator, brake pads, ignition switch, new cats and exhaust, new tires (RE-10). and repairing two dented wheels ~$5,000.

it adds up...as they say with Porsche: you can pay me now or you can pay me later but you will pay ....sooner or later.

p.s.
anyone want to buy a Porsche?
