100K mark was celebrated by a giant burnout in an Ihop parking lot. Shortly after it was celebrated again with a purchase of new tires.

I think some roadside sex would have been cheaper

246,982 miles on mine and she runs like a beast, I change all the fluids regularly and it pulls HARD as hell. Congrats on the mileage, if yours is anything like mine you still have a long life left in yours.

My car has 228k on it, engine was replaced at 68k by previous owner with a GM factory replacement crate (4-bolt main block ), so the engine has 160k on it now. Put new oil pump (Melling 10% HV w/white spring) in when did head gasket (with Stg 2 heads), has 80 psi on cold start, 35-40 at hot idle in traffic. Now I just need my T56 rebuilt (3/4 syncro is bad).

Congrats...

My first one spun 2 rod bearings by 120k, and I got another 10kish out of it before a lifter came apart.

Its ok though... this time around it should last a bit longer.

i found a nice deal on an LS1 with high miles, so i might pick it up if my car sells, i'd pull the LS1 out and freshen everything up and probably go H/C with it...but i am not sure anymore...I need surgery on my back and I might have to pay for it out of my own pocket, so if the funds drop, LT1 it is...
