a mercedes went over the 500k mark? wonder what kind of shape the body was in? i haven't seen to many that hold thier age well.

by the time i finish re building the engine that i am swapping into my hatch i might be near 250k.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

could that blow a rod thru the fire wall? you might consider removing the hood and reinforcing the drivers compartment ...don't blow it up

getting some good mileage.

there was a chevy truck that hit the 1 million mile mark. I think it was castrol or penzoil... whichever he used , they bought him a brand new truck and took his to do tests on it he drove a paper route that went between two states or something rediculose.
