I thought I was bad with 15 cars in the past 10 years. At least I put around 10k miles on each of them before I get rid of them

heh heh yeah.. personally, the dodge truck I have now is #4, and I bought the first one in 1995.... I was about due for a new one, but the wife's car had to be replaced way more then the truck did. I now have more miles on this truck, then I have had on any of the previous ones... actually, it has more miles on it then any other car/truck I have owned now that I think about it. Still running good, so I'm not gonna worry about it, just keep changing fluids and brakes/tires, and see how long she goes for, or at least until the rex is paid off.
