Default Just Hit 130,000 miles!!

So I just hit 130,000 miles on my way home from the airport.
I've gotta say that I'm pretty pleased with how my isx50 has been running and considering the mileage, it feels great. i've had no major problems, no special servicing, just the regular oil change, fluid change, and alignment every 5,000 + miles. i feel comfortable that this car will last me many more years to come until and/or if I get tired with it.

nahh, it's just a check system light because I'm missing my TPMS sensors because of my aftermarket setup...

It'll be fine

As nice as that is, taking a pic while going 80! Doesn't California have distracted driving laws?

ECT PWR and TSC / VSC :P

You know, I used to have my yellow speedometer at 72 (because I cruise at 70) but ever since I bought the intake, I moved it to 82. 80 is just common practice with that thing.

Of course I do this with no one around. I'm smart about it. And yeah, "hands free" buddy! Haha.

You have a 250 right? No carbon build up issues?

Alignment every 5k+? Isn't it overkill? lets say $100 per alignment, it is $2600.
