exactly what I was thinking... lol ^

@6000 miles a month... I disagree. Ill give it up to 300,000 miles minimum. The clutch will go before the engine does...

189,770

I havent changed my coolant ever. should I change it out now or push it another 10k miles for bragging rights? lol fyi...coolant is clean and still bright red.

i know i should have prolly changed it a few times with the mileage I have...but the bottom line is I havent and I wonder if i might as well wait till the 200k mark in two months...

The coolant is recommended to be changed every 5 years of 150,000 thousand miles. I find it hilarious that they someone could drive that much in five years. Guess I was wrong.

I'd say your find till 200,000. Most people let that **** sit in there for years and don't touch it.

i bought my car September 23, 2006 with 8 miles on the odometer. Now, the car was only driven half of one winter. It's parked every November. With that in mind, the car has 82,000 miles on it.

it's just one of those cars that likes to be driven
