The 300 (Thousand)

[Wret]

I was able to capture this moment as I stopped for gas this morning. 20 years of ownership. 260,000 miles of my own. Year round daily driver.

Great! Really!

Well done!

I’m assuming standard maintenance…oil changes, transmission oil, plugs, brakes, coolant, water pump/t’stat, axle boots, etc etc. You had to do “major” stuff beyond that? I ask because I’m at 113K and I’m curious what I’m in for. Mine (’01 S, manual transmission) currently runs like a top (though I am having the apparently fairly standard 2nd gear issues).

Congratulations!

That is awesome!

I'm mostly an "if it ain't broke" guy. I do little preventive maintenance. I change to oil once a year. I do most repairs myself. I have replaced most suspention parts at least twice, including axles and bearings. I replace plugs and coils if I get a CEL. I do maintain some spare parts: control arms, axles, drop links, etc. I should have an air/oil separator and water pump on the shelf too. The clutch was recently replaced for the first time!

The only major engine work was failed valve timing dohicky.

Well done!

Sydney (CSS) just turned 90K. Punkin (LE) is 84K - that update is for Frodo.

Hey, thanks for the update! Glad to hear Punkin's still chuggin' along! Though it quickly became obvious you weren't going to sell her, that was the car that made me realize I'd be absolutely okay with owning an orange car. I'd have given her a good home.

Impressive numbers. Thanks for posting.
