Rolled the 87 over to 200,000 miles while pulling into the economy parking lot at Hartsfield International airport in Atlanta.

Car is my semi daily driver along with the 99 996 and looking forward to many more miles!

You're low on coolant

Congrats on the milestone. I'll never get there as my odometer has been reading 127,000 miles for 10 years and through 3 owners. If I pull the pod again, maybe I'll fix it. I put in a new gear during the build, but then before I knew better pushed the reset button

nice. Have you had to (or do past records indicate) tackle torque tube, motor/trans mounts, rack or similar more than once?
Was just thinking that I wanted to catch up on the fate of Roger's 800,000 mile roller.

I did all of those within first 6-8 months along with top end refresh, new boge shocks, and a ton of electrical gremlin work. The car had sat next to a barn outside Seattle from 2003 until I bought it in 2014 so I had no maintenance history other than the car suffered TBF and had a 50,000 mile long block installed in 2000ish as that receipt was in the glove box.
