my car finally hit 200K miles. the engine doesn't even eat oil. although the tranny needs to be fixed or rebuilt

 

damn man nice

 

Thats super congratulations

 

thanks guys

 

Don't fix it, upgrade it with new and better. Congrats on that man. Everybody keeps saying how our engines are not really good but every day there is more and more people showing some nice numbers!

 

200 is not the best, i've seen over 20 sixers with over 250K so our car run even longer than v8s

 

I have a friend that has 98 V6 that is approaching 210,000....no problems except visual

 

Mine has 196,000. Eats some oil but not to bad i guess. It has some problems but what can you expect from a 97 with that many miles. Its treated me good. Imma buy me another motor this spring coming but im not goin to put it in untill this one blows. I dont drive it hard very much anymore. i try to take it easy. But im really suprised, it starts right up and has no problem running. Sometimes overheats but i think the head gasket is goin out(main reason i want a new motor).

 

200, that is AWESOME. I'm only at 90 now and I'm looking forward to another 110. I love how all my idiot honda accord, toyota camry and corolla dopey friends dumped their vehicles at 115k miles, and they're all sayin how mine's going to crack soon, yea right. I am so proud of the fact that my car looks and feels better than new, and I know that with continued care and maintainence, I can look forward to at least 10 more years with no major issues.
