Funny you mention that... mind just did that on it's first drive of the season the other day!

Interesting how it doesn't "drive" like it has 120k, but it sure does have a certain... smell...

i wish i owned a car that had 120k miles when i owned it.. it would be nice if i could even be within 50k of that.

I guess the pcar had like 150k guessing by broken odo... but now I rebuilt an engine from a car with 199k... so i just killed that one.

Amazing what happens when cars are well built, and well taken care of.

I'll probably not catch up with you, as it's not my daily driver, especially when it's not nice out. I probably only put between 4k-6k miles on it each year. It's my 'toy' car. I got it mainly for doing DE's.

Wish I had a photo of my 87 944 with only 88,000. but I have all kinds of problems.. Oil cooler just started leaking, now when I do drive it dies all the time. I guess this is what a guy gets for not driving these cars like they should be.

266k was the highest I ever had on a turbo. It had it's head redone and that was it. Ran like a top!

216k on my previous NA.
