While driving from SC to Montreal, Canada for the Formula 1 race.
Been a terrific daily driver. In all those miles I've only had two significant failures - a broken valve spring around 70k miles and a bad fan motor assembly around 90k. Both fixed under extended warranty.
Other than that its been rock-solid mechanically. Most of those are highway miles but she does pull my wife's horse trailer and do other occasional "farm" jobs like hauling loads of concrete from Lowes. Aside from needing 3.5 lanes to pull a u-turn, it's been a really a fun daily driver.
Of course, at an average of 12 mpg, that means she's burned 12,500 gallons of gas in 5 years, at a cost of somewhere around $40k. That's a little sobering. I guess I'll have to buy a Prius in my next life to atone...

No reason why she won't go 200k. :burnout:
