it finally happened

i'm now officially a member of the "100K Mile Club"! i have to admit it was kind of exciting. though i was on a regular road so i couldn't get up to 100 at the time.



2001 Base/TIP

prior to my ownership it had:
* new shift cable
* new headlight assembly
* new MAF
* RMS

since buying the car in '09 (@65k miles) i've done:
* oil changes:
* serpentine belt
* spark plugs
* tires (1 full set)
* brakes + rotors
* AOS (preventative)
* air, cabin, fuel filter
* updated coolant cap

replaced because of failure:
* alternator (failed, while in TX)
* front engine mount (vibration / shudder, while in TX)
* water pump (grinding noise, leaking coolant, while in NE)
* ignition switch (finally stopped working in CO)
* front strut mount (clunking, at home)
* lower control arm (clunking, at home)
* cv boots (cracked, leaking, at home)
* coolant reservoir (cracked, leaking, at home)
* climate control panel (sunsetting, illegible)
