Well, after a couple years of unemployment and driving 4000 miles a year, I thought I'd die before I got to 300,000.
Then I found a job way across the other side of LA. 700 miles of commuting a week.
For the last 4 months and 13000 miles, I've burned( and crawled ) along the 405, 101 and 118.
Because I start at 5:45am and set off back at 6:45pm I frequently cruise at 70-75mph. Without a problem.
Original engine, one rod replaced @ 230,000. 3rd clutch at 260,000, stick shift, "runs great".
I plan on reaching the big "3" on the cliffs overlooking Corona del Mar.
Will post pictures.
