I which I didn't need the cash to buy another car, I really wanted to keep this car to show everybody how far I can push it in miles. this had been the best reliable car in my life, ..I have used all this time good synth oil and special gas at least, no regular. That helps a lot keep a car running for long long. This northstar can still go easy easy over 300k miles, if you see the way this car rides you wouldn't think of the actual miles it has.
