2006 LS 3.5 that turns 1 year old tomorrow with 5,800 miles. On-Star module went bad, power steering was leaking and a belt tensioner fell apart. All replaced after 6 trips to the dealer.

I have 22,000 miles on my 06, but the scary part is it had 15,000 on it 3 months ago! Only problem so far is the remote not working at range and the "service tire pressure monitor system" warning, which I have been to lazy to get fixed yet.

Almost 50,000 on this one, but had 116,000 on my '01. I just had the flywheel and torque converter replaced last week on this one. The '01 had new hubs, tranny, ISS, EGR valve, coil packs, starter, and a few other misc things.

1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau
Almost 189,000 miles on it, but not quite...

I have just over 50,000 miles on the crate 350 and rebuilt transmission. I have almost 2000 miles on the new camshaft, lifters, fuel pump and torque converter. I probably have just over 24,000 miles on the OEM 3.73 gears, Eaton posi and right rear axle. Almost 12,000 miles on the front suspension (except shocks). Just over 24,000 miles on my wheels and tires.

I've done lost of modifying and whatnot. Wouldn't exactly be fair if I said everything almost has 189,000 miles on it. The body and frame are pretty much the whole of the 189,000 miles, except the right front fender, front bumper, hood, radiator core support, vinyl top and windshield.


I think I just need to do a frame off restomod and start from ZERO, lol!

Anyway, she's been my daily driver since grandpa gave her to me in June, 2000. I've properly maintained her... changed the oil & filter, transmission fluid, coolant, spark plugs and wires, belts and hoses at the proper interval (or when they need it). Wrecked twice, first time almost totalled her, but repaired her. Second time I rear ended someone when traffic came to a sudden halt. Replaced the front bumper, header panel and grills. She's bracket raced on the weekends once or twice a month and its real hard not to get on it.
