Finally broke my engine in

I just turned 100,000 miles for an almost 10 year old car. At this rate I should be able to keep my car for another 10 years!

i missed my 120k yesterday. missed it by 3 damn miles. i bought the car with 99,976 or somthin like that and never got to see the 100k because of stupid back and forth with mechanics and all that crap

i feel like a lousy maxima owner.

82.5k dubious previous-owner miles
6.5k I-freakin-hate-this-car-so-much-I'm-going-to-crash-it miles
42.5k born-again 5spd-swapped hard-driven miles

Second engine, fifth transmission, fourth set of tires, coilovers, wheels, and a K&N filter that's supposed to go on a GMC Yukon...

...And of course, rattles, creaks, dents, stains, a few spots of rust, a heater that almost doesn't work, and barely a shred of clearcoat left.

Love it, hate it, love it, hate it...

sheesh in that case I got a maxima Fetus even accounting for my last year of odometer issues. my 95 has 42k yup you read that right. daily driver too. helps when work is less then 1/2 a mile away. if not for 1 trip halfway across the country and several trips to vegas it would be in the 30's only parts replaced are age related. CV's, belts, still on the factory rear brakes pads with about 20% left. bought it new so no trickery here. a car fax shows the gentle climb up the milage chart

'98 with 144k+ and loving it. my dad wants to get rid of it tho...cuz it shifts hard or something and it's mpg is a lil less than the camry's we have (but it adds up)...stupid camrys. ('92 and '97). hate them both.
if it weren't for me, my dad woulda gotten rid of it a long time ago.

of course it rattles, dinks, creaks, and has dents and rusts spots [cuz of my very stupid older bro...doesn't take care of it..], but i do whatever i can to keep it in good shape (unlike me)
