Thanks guys! She had 9500 when I bought her in spring of 2003, so I've only had the pleasure of putting 40k on her in 5 years. Our trip was awesome. My daughter got carsick though. I guess I took the turns too fast. Leather seats are a great thing for clean up though. And yes, the car has been fixed for awhile now (finally). I thought I shared photos... it's dirty now though. It's pretty much always dirty. No time to clean it.

Garage queen  I can't remember my starting mileage all I know is I'm over 110k now. And it's not even my only vehicle. My mileage gets split up between the truck and my motorcycle. I drive the truck about a tank of gas a month, the bike about 400 miles a month the car about a tank a week. Wife drives the car more then I do now.

Hercman... you are not true car guy when you can't remember starting mileage  I brought summer car from rental company. It is 26K mileage in April 2004. Now, she is over 100K. The winter beater that I brought in April 2008 that it is 50K mileage. Lowest mileage in town and great deal for me (mostly scratches and little dent but they are swap from old summer car like hood, rear bumper and soon tri-spoke after I put 18" wheel). It just turn 56K mileage. I just realize that. I guess I have habit buy car on April. April 2001 (brought 1997 Oldmobile Cutlass Supreme) April 2004 (brought 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix) April 2008 (brought 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix) lol weird.
