Clicked over 300,000 miles today

The front mount is still too spongy. I pushed a pick into it and the caulk is still wet in the middle. I have them in the floor board cooking in the sun.

Maybe, for those of us who might do this in the future, the mount shouldn't be filled all in one go. Fill it halfway, wait a week, then fill it to the top.

You make me jealous, if I still had my 97 SE it would probably have 240k on it. I'm gonna see how long I can keep my current Max on the road, my all time mileage record is 189k miles in my 1990 Saab 9000S. Keep it on the road man.

I'll be dead twice before I hit 300,000 miles on my 95SE, given it has only got 98,100 miles on it now.

Very nice. I am at 338,600 miles now with original engine and tranny. Last major thing was replacing all the fuel injectors with new OEM ones. They started falling like flies..
