Default 40K miles this morning

Ordered May 2007. My first automatic, as I could already feel hip problem coming - left hip replaced 4 weeks ago. Passed my driver's test in 1962 in my parents' '59 MGA. Manuals all my life.

Delivered new 12-21-2007. Daily driver, a few road trips to Ruf Dallas (no mods) , MT and CO. Stock. Lots of fun.

Congratulations on making it to the 40 club so fast. And she's still running strong.

How have your PCCB's held up?

Tech told me at 40K service, pads and rotors are fine. I did not ask for details.

Car has been bullet proof reliable.

All the best.
