As of when I parked it today; 51,777 on the odometer.
It's a 97 with a 3.8L. I'm the second owner. Previous owner had thrown it in storage in 2000 due to illnesses with 39k on it. He passed last year and the inheritor of his estate found a bill for a storage locker and when and picked it up and got it running and sold it to me for $2,900. Still had the original Goodyear's on it
Threw those in some trashbags/ totes and holding on to them. People pay big bucks for classic tires haha.

That about killed me when I hit 5 figures on my T/A. I think I hit that mark about 5 years ago and just started driving it more afterwards. Not a whole lot but I'm up to 33,000 miles as of yesterday so I'm averaging about 4,000 miles per year since the 10,000 mark.
