One more 4th Gen Z28 at 100k This car has been with me for the past 10 months and 5 days. I bought it as a Christmas present to myself with about 92k on the clock. It just turned over 100,000 miles with daily driving. It has a new rear axle in it after the old one disintegrated at 125mph, with headers, motor mounts, and a torque converter planned for it.
That's all there is to my story so far. What's yours?

Picked up the SS in late February with 14k on it and has just about 17.5k on it with the first road trip planned this weekend. Threw on a Magnaflow catback and some SFCs with more items on the way.

MY 01 SS is at 139K and daily driven. Still has plenty of power, nothing has been changed, all factory stuff other than the clutch. Still running factory plugs and wires. I did have to replace the O2 sensors and put a set of magnaflow high flow cats on it though. Pinion seal is starting to leak, and the seal coming from the trans, but thats it.

Put 50k on the car when it was a daily driver for 5 years - bought it at 37k, parked it at 88k. Put about 500 on it in the year since I picked up something that gets a little better gas mileage (which I've put 18k on since March this year).
Went from a 2.4L automatic '99 Altima to the T/A when I was 19. Fun times.

thats not bad, only 10K a year. I went from a 01 HD F150 pushing a little over 400HP at the wheels to my SS. My pocketbook was very happy with the difference.

My Formula just hit 100k 2 weeks ago.
Sad day to see that number pop up. It runs great, and has hardly given me any trouble in 3 years of ownership, so I can't complain.
I picked her up in Aug of '07 with 65k miles, and she's been my DD ever since. The car does get a break in the winter though, I switch over and DD my 97 Grand Cherokee....it's much better in the snow, haha. That's how I've kept the mileage gain relatively low...I put on a lot of miles, I have a 60 mile round trip to work, so being able to spread it over two vehicle helps.
At times I think I want to keep it forever, others I start thinking about a G8 or CTS.

I bought my beloved SS in February 05 bone stock with 64k on the clock. I daily drove it till February 08 and parked it with 84k on it. I have since continued to mod it and it has almost 86k on it. I love my car and it will stay with me till the day I die. I HOPE it never reaches 100k but that day will come some day I'm sure.

I'm doing around 12k a year in mine (this will probably drop after I graduate from college in May) but I'm on my way to 110k within the next few months. The car is still running awesome and I couldn't be happier with it. Stock 4th gen FTW

Mines at 136k miles on it right now, got it with 82k i believe...Somewhere low in the 80k mile range that's for sure. Its been my daily driver for 2yrs now, for about 2 1/2 months i had to travel 70miles round trip eachday for work. That put alot of miles on it, till i found a house to rent and moved closer to my job.
Biggest problem so far has been my ignition going out, key no longer worked and had to get a new one installed from the dealership. This was about 2weeks ago now, other then that. Nothing major, just replacement parts like idler pulley/window motors/window tint. I keep up with the maintance, so it stays running strong.
I even recently found out that i had aftermarket infinity speakers in the doors w/ dynamat surrounding them. When i did my window motors, about 2 months ago. This whole time i thought i had stock speakers in there lol At the same time, window motors were replaced once before. The holes were drilled and done perfectly. Thinking of maybe trading it in but at the same time, i dont want too lol We'll see what happens come next year with it.
