My '87S4 daily driver is just getting warmed up. Previous owners drove the car sparingly - but not me. Turned 100K on my way to Florida yesterday and I missed it! When I glanced at the OD it was at 100,002. Comfortable and uneventful trip - 18 hours only stopping for fuel and bio-breaks.

132,000 miles.
Engine runs great, like a scalded cat. The transmittion doen't make any noises, nor the torque tube, but the tranny doesn't shift as smoothly as I like. I think it's worn shifter linkage, and worn syncros. I get close to 25 mpg too, not too shabby for a 20 year old super sports car! (It's beliveable when you concider I don't have a cat, or smog pump, and have about 2 extra degrees of advance.) Well, 22 w/ a/c, 25 w/o a/c. The exaust is too loud for my likeing, when I bought the car, I liked it, now it's kinda annoying.
The exteror has as somewhat shabby paint over job. Evencaly, I'm going to pull the trim, sand blast, prime, and let a body shop paint. Yes, I've got access to sand blasting equitment, and spray painting equitment. It's nice to be able to barrow tools.
The interor is a bit shabby. The carpet is in decent condition, but is pulling away from the doors. I also don't have all the trim peices for the fuel computer. It's an annoyance mainly.
The car runs like shes on rails though, it's realy fun to drive.

I thought I had 47K, but I'm not there yet.
As you can tell from this one, shes running rather well

I tried to do the same as Don today, but my camera was in movie mode, and that's too low resolution to see anything...
