Clutch-less shifting?! I tried it once in my Pontiac G5 before I traded it in... never again seeing as quite a few people are already having issues with their transmission from regular driving.

damn you beat me by a good 20 months at my current rate. im at 144k now. bet your cars in better shape than mine. i drive mine like a truck and run it through dirt roads and rock quarries, run over anything that i think i might clear since im at stock ride height. fun stuff. if i paid what you guys did im sure i woulda taken better care of it. and i got him beat on temp. mine read 114 yesterday. btw youre almost outta gas.

Ive changed pads, but brake system has never been upgraded. Been through 3 sets of rotors due to my heavy braking habits n warpage.

Got plenty gas, i get the most out i can. I wait till needle is clearly below redline. Most of the time i put 12.5-13 gallons n wen i fill. Anyone who puts 13 n is basically running on fumes. Ive become an expert n running it to almost empty everytime. No problems with fuelsystem except the evap canister. Gota pump the gas so i can keep it running after i fill up . otherwise it will stall on me n can be hard to get started

if i ever fill it up i normally do about 12.5. i normally run it till 30 miles past the low fuel warning then put 20$ in it. i havent had a full tank of gas in my car in months. i have fulled it damn near to the cap once and got 500miles outta that tank. im still on the factory pads and rotors and clutch too. i either coast or engine brake everywhere i go. time will tell if that does anything bad to the engine but at nearly 150k miles im not too worried about it. i can afford another car i just dont want one. at least i still got you beat on the cars age :P driving habits cant do jack about that. well buy date, build date i never bothered to look at. i can find out in 20mins. always think to look but enver do.

Glad I'm not the only one who misunderstood that. You should probably just come back to this thread when your getting close to 250. No reason to kill a great thread.
