2007 C2S. This is my daily driver unless I need the truck but generally nothing much out of the ordinary. Oil was mostly Mobil1 until I changed to DT40. Always listening for new sounds and jumping on those when they happened but otherwise that was it.

There is a caveat, The motor now has 2000 miles on it because I rebuilt and finished it myself at the end of January. Although, there was nothing bad in the cylinders, some flaking on the piston coatings and carbon on the oil rings but she would have easily went another 10-15K. I had planned a rebuild at 200K but the lockdown changed that, it was too hard to get to 200,000 miles last year. I just didn't do enough driving then.

Yup, but I'm using the Mr12Volt handsfree adapter with a thumb drive.

Awesome is the word. And here I am wringing my hands about mine ticking over to 70K miles from 69,995. I obviously need to re-calibrate myself.

I'm a few months off of 100K. Such a great car to live with on a daily basis.

gives me great hope for the m97.01- you got a good one!

what was the build date and what climates has the car lived in?

any pictures of the cylinders/pistons/ process?
