just turned 112k miles on my 02 TA, still runs strong and feels solid, has a few little issues though.
I bought an 01 WS6 brand new right after 9/11 and (foolishly) traded it in 2006 with 68,000 miles. In that time I had to replace a fog light, brake rotors (originals kept warping after numerous turns), catalytic converter (to solve an SES light) and that was all... and I might add that I drove it very hard, but kept it 100% stock. If I had to count the times I raced it down the track (best time was a 13.5 @ 104 with an A4), raced it on the street and floored it for the pleasure of passengers, I'd have to use my hair strands... ALL of them. It had piston slap really bad and burned some oil (which I think is what killed my cat), but it still ran strong and was still reliable. Very sorry I gave it up.
I'll be a lot nicer to the current one...now that I am older and more responsible, hehe

1998 Trans Am, 140 000km or about 87 000miles
I just bought the car in October and it went straight into storage. I'm hopefully getting a set of ws6 wheels and a ws6 hood before spring comes along.
