You guys are all pathetic - we never consider getting rid of a car till it has over 250K unless it rusts to nothing. The '99 Expedition is sitting just under 300K and the way my '06 Dodge is going, it will be 150K before this time next year. Think of all the "global warming" I've contributed too

My gas bill thanks you!

I never knew that not having a job involved so much driving!

Somehow you'll find a way to get the Corvettes to rust away. And what ever happened to the red F150 you had?

Traded the red F250 in on the Dodge.

had almost 190k on my Ranger before I traded it in for the 3 (which is nearly halfway there already...)

WOW

100,000 miles goes fast. We have 3 in the 100K club now:
97 miata has 122K
99 miata has 126K
88 CRX has 160K

These are well on their way to 100K:
2000 Integra GS-R is close at 98K
2003 MSP is not far away at 80K

Sean will like this - at last check a few years back, my 1985 MR2 (first one sold in Ohio) had 360,000. Started out white. Sold, ran perfect, just rusting apart w/260,000 miles. New owner redid all the body painted red rolled 100,000 off the odometer. 3rd owner contacted us about the orginal miles. Said they put 100,000 on it, redid body again and back to white. :lol:

I finally checked the odo in the hoopty truck..... 196k on it now.

I remember Eric saying that chevys run forever....maybe not real well....but for a real long time. :lol:

Yes I have said that - basically the Toyota of the big "American Three."

I've always pictured a old GM truck as looking like a cartoon car that just got blown up by a bomb - everything will be missing or broke or rusted away, but you will still have a driveline and frame that you can still drive if you sit on a milk crate.

Sean O'Gorman · Mon Dec 28, 2009 5:03 pm

LOL, nice. Meanwhile I can barely keep my shitbox going and its at 133k.
