That's awesome. What engine? Have you had to make any major repairs in that time?

I have the 6 cyl. Of course I have had to do some costly repairs. No engine or trans repairs though. Two A/C compressors, the main computer went, fuel pump, one of the catalytic converters, coupler in the rear differential, radiator, crankshaft pulley, alternator, control arms,radiator and the timing belt/water pump service twice. Then the normal wear items like serpentine belt, brakes, rotors and one window motor. Besides the miles, I am in sales and make 10 to 15 calls per day so there is much use of things that you dont think about like the ignition switch, starter, windows door handles etc. Other than that few issues LOL. I am still on the original starter.

I tend to hang on to my vehicles. I still have my first car that I bought in 1975, a 73 Trans am.
