Default My car gets around

More precisely it's been around the earth just a little bit over 6 times in it's lifetime, on the same engine. the distance around the earth is 24,902 miles. You do the math.

Does it feel like it has less power now that the mileage is getting up that high? Or not enough to notice yet?

Well if you wanted a challenge, drive north/south instead of east/west. the Earth is taller than it is wider. w00t egg shaped planet!

my 240sx just passed 260k on the original motor and trans, and as such has been around the earth 10.44 times. and apart from a little click in a lifter when cold and a bad injector plug, it's running just perfect. if i hit a pothole real hard, the car starts missing and i have to get out and jiggle cyl2 injector plug and the idle smoothes right out.. i should really fix that........

I've been around 2.1484 times, and I still don't like seeing 53,500 on the mileage. I really don't want to see it hit 100K. Kinda like hitting those milestone birthdays, 30th, 40th, 50th and so on. I guess once I do hit it won't be as bad as I think, but the anticipation is what kills.
