Default 50K on the 50AE

Went to get in my AE this morning and noticed the mileage....



It's an everyday driver.

Blade, we missed you at 3rd Gear this summer at Asheville.

Mine is not a daily driver and turned over 50K a few months age, 3 coast to coast trips added on the miles.

My 03 had 25K on it. The only problem was the rear seal leak on the driver side rear end.
