reading this thread helps calm me down when it comes time for me to get my first ride with around 90,000 - 130,000 kilos on it.

My '02 Kia Spectra has 19400 miles on it, it'll be 2 years old Dec 31st :). My last car was a '91 Mitsubishi Galant which I got rid of for $90 with 166,000 miles on it in 2001. Overdrive was dead. Oil leaks. It was a mess. Great first hand-me-down car though.

My 95 Toyota T100 hit 200,000 miles last week:D

Never had a problem, does not leak a drop, does not burn oil and runs like a champ.

The oil has never been used for more then 4000 miles and the rearend and coolant get changed every spring.


By far the best truck I have ever had.

88 Saab 9000. 135,000. It should go at least another 100k miles without a problem.

No Swedish love here either! Come on guys, we all know these cars are super-reliable! :D

If you were a true nerd, you would put a laptop and a webcam in your car so you don't have to worry about catching the very moment that it rolls over. ;)

I'm about to hit 40k miles in 3 years.
That's like 13k per year.
I guess I can hit 100k in another 4 years maybe.

Roommate one has a 91 Acura Legend with 192K, but he needs a new trany.
Roommate two has a 96 Ford Explorer with 140K on it, he just needs a new car.
Me, I have oh wait, I don't have a car.

When my parents sold our old 89 Chevy Astro back in 97 it had ~240K on it.
