kissedvfd January 15th, 2006, 08:24 PM bob335 asked a good question on the STS forum. I thought it would be a good question to ask everybody.
What is the highest mileage you or close family member has ever gotten on a car, pickup truck, or motorcycle without internal engine repair work (pistons, rings, bearings, cam, lifters...ect). I'm not talking about a leaking gasket or coolant pump here.
Be honest!:cool:
I'll start. I have a '93 Buick Roadmaster with 304k and I still drive it back and forth to work!:D

My 01 LS has 102000 miles, I hope I'll get another 100000 without many problems.
My 99 Mercury Mystique V6 has 122000 miles, had only changed the chain tensioners at 117000, other than that no problems.
My 90 BMW 325i has 81000miles.
