    Another Milestone Past

    Current odometer reading is 16,005. Thats 10K supercharged miles and still going strong. Since I do not drive it to work, each mile is a "fun" mile. Thats alot of "fun".

    I've been driving this car everywhere and each time I park it, I walk away with that stupid --> on my face.

    Thanks everyone.

    11.98 @ 115 mph

    My recent milestone was proving the speedometer doesn't give me a good reading after I hit 140mph this weekend The car seemed to want to go faster but I was running out of pavement. I was on a last leg of a 45 minute drive where I knew I'd have a stretch of road w/ no cops. It was a great little experiment. I don't know how many times I'd put her up at that speed though.

    Congrats, Defyant. I wish I could say the same thing. My car just turned 15,000 miles yesterday, but I bought it at the beginning of September 2005 with only 5600 miles on it. I have put 10,000 miles on it in about 4 months. I do love to drive it!!!! Can't wait until the day it is supercharged.

    I can't comment on s/c'd miles,

    but I just turned 40,000 miles on my daily driver and still love the hell out'of it.
    Started looking at the Chev Trailblazer SS with the corvette engine but can't bear to part with my baby.

    My Marauder turns 2 in less than a week.
    I've got 46,500+ on her already.
    Each mile is a fun mile, regardless of the reason, or the destination !
