  • The two hundred thousand mile club.

    How many pushrodders do we have here in this club? As of this morning, I joined the club... I brought my digicam along to take a picture of the moment, but at the time was so busy enjoying the mean twisty roads up here in the mountains that I plain forgot.

        Slowly getting there.. 171500 or so right now. If I still have my car next school year I'll be getting on the highway to see my gf so more miles should accumulate.

          My '84 X-11 had 216K on it when the original engine expired. The second X-11 had 185K when I yanked the engine in favor of a 3400.

            Look at the POS 90 in my sig. When I bought it the odometer said 200,012. It blew a head gasket and baked the oil to end its life, but I guess it did hit 200K

              Yeah. But how many of you are in the 300,000 mile club? As of right now, my odometer reads 325,342 miles (not kilometers).

                my 83 S-15 is just under 600,000 kms (587k or so) but it has been parked for 3 years now (getting a total rebuild soon and new sheet metal) MPFI and a 3.2L in store
                Why pay someone to do the work, it costs alot and you don\'t learn s*^t!!!

                    My 1986 Chevy Celebrity (2.8 V6) had ~363000 when I sold it for a buck, and the engine still ran fine... it was the transmission that went out.

                      My '93 Beretta with the 3.1MPFI currently has 227,000 miles and some change on it. Original engine and trans., no rebuilds.

                      UPDATE: Dec. 8 2004:

                      Now has 240,000 miles.

                        My 92 Lumina has about 205,000 miles. Those pushrods last forever, even if they're treated like shit, as this one was.

                          Haven't even broke 86k yet. And even though it's only a 97, I know there's a lot of nut jobs out there somehow with over 200k on a car of my year. Ah well. It'll probably be NEXT fall before I even break 100k. Maybe.

                            Not my Beretta, but...

                            I bought a 98 Blazer in February with exactly 95,000 miles on it. I think we just rolled over 106,000 last week. Yeah, that's right, 11,000 miles in like 5 months. But we just moved, so no more daily trips of almost 60 miles. At the rate we were going, it would have been close to 125,000 by the end of the year.

                              Heh, when I first got my car I was putting 30k-35k miles per year on it. Far less now, probably in the 10k-20k range.
