My plan was to keep her in the family and drive it until the wheels fells off.
Since I was the original owner and serviced it regularly I just wanted to see how many miles I could but on the old gal. She was still running in top form until the accident.

Is there a record kept on the miles someplace? I know on Married with Children Al's Dodge hit i million and Chrysler was going to award him a Viper but Peggy messed that all up by driving it someplace and blew it when the odometer went past 0000000. My ZR2 has 205K and runs good.

04 2wd 160,000 miles on it. About 7,000 miles ago-I put in new injectors. It's had it's issues along the way, and still has one pesky one, but I'm trying to get at least 500,000 miles out of this thing. I'm just replacing what breaks along the way. No car payments, so I put that money into parts, instead.
