Only because a few years ago I moved to AZ and was driving back down to Cali almost every weekend then back, I did that for about 8 months, so that's about 800 miles every weekend

....what can I say, I missed Cali too much

Picked up in Oct 2004 with 5 miles on it, straight off the truck (literally.. the truck dropped it off a the dealer about 1 hr before I picked it up).

Turned 80,000 miles just after I pulled out of my driveway today.

Regular maintenance (air filter, oil changes, tires) and approx 30 autox events. Still runs like it did when I got it.

Pretty reliable so far and I expect it to be going forward. But, reliability is measured way past 100,000 miles IMO

Late July 2005 56k miles. Drove off the lot with 1 mile on her. I think it was the first 06 to come through the Port of Albany. Since then they warrantied my tranny, supercharger, cat, and short block replacements. Lemon worthy.
