I can honestly say, if mine makes it to 240,000 miles, ill be in awe.
At that mileage, no matter if it needs it or not, shes gettin a rebuilt engine and another trans, if its till going by then lol
Call it a restoration

I'd be more than perfectly happy if I hit 400,000kms OR miles.

Haro told me once Travis drives it nice and gently. However..he has been to the track with it.

Now if my car hits 400K, I'm marrying it.

I'm not touching the engine, but I am looking for a tranny core to rebuild myself, or biting the bullet and paying someone to rebuild mine. I kinda want to find out just how long it will go. There is nothing wrong with the tranny at the moment.

Oh common now. I get to 60 as fast as I can. Most times I'm in 2nd gear at sixty. I think it does as well as it does because I don't baby it. I don't beat it either.

well, most of your miles are on the highway right? with the TCC locked? doesnt the tranny last forever in those conditions?

Thats awesome, I hope my baby will hold up to see that many miles on the clock too.

I really think the more you beat on a motor the longer it will last, given that is you still take care of it. Every car I have ever owned got the crap drove out of them but I always took good care of them. But most of the engines Ive ran hard ddnt even have a chance for the oil to get dirty before it got a fresh change, & rarley saw temps over 165.
My last Baby was a 92 Camaro RS, went through three different trannies behind it (& it was a 305 to boot) sold the engine with just a bit under 200,000 on it to a freind who beat the heck out of it for another year before another guy got ahold of it & ran it with no oil a spun the mains.

Compared to the way Andrew drives everything is nice and gentle. I wouldnt say Travis beats the snot out of the thing, but then he doesnt baby it either.
