took me long enough to hit 100K

Bought it new in May 1995
hit 100K on the way home from work tonight.
been my daily driver for work since new. always had short commutes.
spotted my first rust earlier this year on a body panel. right rear quarter at the bottom.
on to my next 100K..obligatory dirty engine bay pic. I ditched the stillen pop charger for the stock airbox. .noise got annoying.

24 years 2 months to hit 100K

Congratulations. You're an old timer like me. I have 136000 on a '97, owned since 2001.
If you have a sunroof the rust may be coming from a loose or blocked sunroof drain hose in the
1/4 panel. You'll find it if you go through the trunk and reach in below the antenna motor.

yeah I drove it off the lot in May of 95 with 13miles on the ODO ..hell the SOB was paid off in 99 LOL...
I know my rust on that panel is from the antenna drain.,..the hose had come off at some point. I put it back but damage was done.
this was a simple GXE with the security and conv package. .I think it was 23k out the door in 95 .I have the original window sticker here
