Gonna hit 250,000 miles tonight as I begin my drive back to Phila. You're all invited. BYOB. I'll be between Richlands and Claypool Hill Virginia at about 2045 hours. The first 40 miles will have >120 curves. It's like a stretched out Tail of the Dragon. Bought a new camera for the occasion (the old one broke and won't be fixed until September). Photos to follow.

Congrats and good luck! I'm only 145,000 behind your milestone and hope to get there some day...

That's awesome, I love it. I know you have been asked a million times, but as I recall, you have had no major engine work. Is that right?

That's awesome, Rich. I hope to reach the same with no major work. So far, so good at 102K.
BTW, I still love your avatar.

That's what it's all about. Showing what our cars are truly made of.

No major engine work yet. Although there have been a lot more little parts going since 200,000. (fan resistors, fan diaphragm, left windows switch). Looks like the engien has outlasted the front bumper cover (which is now held together with gorilla glue). Every once in a while I have crossed paths with a small animal which has cracked it in several places as well as parking lot bumpers.

Congratulations, Rich.

I think your car is the highest mileage one on the site, isn't it?

You might be able to get it up to 400,000, like that dentist's 911 that was in Excellence a while back.

You should permanantly mount a webcam, aimed at the speedo, so we can ride along every day. Very cool Richard. Still like to see some current pics to see how she looks.
