At the risk of jumping into an old thread I have 79,000 as of today. Mileage is something that never bothers me but the thought of closing in on 100k makes me a little sad. No issues other that a couple radio lights that will get fixed when I get the time.

This IS a mechanical section. And while I can see letting this thread "ride" in the section, Let'* remember it is a mechanical section, and about GXP'*. If you dont have one, or don't have some positive Northstar specific comments, Stay Out Of It.

04 with 111500. just had the rack and power steering pump replaced... have been through 3 sets of wheel bearings, had to replace rear calipers, parking brake sticks, needs coolant crossover gasket, and my motor mounts are bad... plus lights to be fixed. still runs like a raped ape and sounds soooo good.

I started this thread at 97,000. A year+ later, I'm at around 115,000. It'* probably time to check the spark plugs. But first I need to "fix" the ABS/Trac lights. Probably a wheel bearing/sensor...

Finally hit the 50K mark. Nothing to report but the IM shaft needs a fresh replacement sometime before the 70K warranty is up. I figure to get the most out of it.
