Roman - nice pic - at first it looked like 10,000 mph, I was thinking woa... but then I realized it was miles. Happy LS motoring and hope you hit 200k with no probs.

Warminwisc - agree thsi winter is a bear - but don't feel too envious, it is 16 balmy degrees down here in DFW area this am. And since we have to regularly endure 105 for days on end in summer it just doesn't seem right for it to be so cold here in the winter.

I think 50,000 used to time to freshen a motor up. (rings,gaskets, valvejob) Maybe 200,000 is the new 50,000- at that point you have about 50,000 left.

Seriously some of the first cars I owned back in the 70's were just about worn out well before 100k miles. I owned a 1975 VW Rabbit that smoked like a mosquito truck it was burning oil so bad...it was rusted junk by 75k miles.

Back in the early 70s, at 100k miles, many cars were ready for the junk yard.

Cars have really improved since then in terms of durability. Jeeze in the late 80's if you sneezed hard in a Hyundai, one or two of the wheels would fall off.
