Default 100,000 miles!
Not sure exactly what day it happened last week, but my car is now part of the 100k mile club! Bought it with around 83k on it 2 1/2 years ago and have driven it with many smiles! I'm driving it to the NCM (Caravan 2014) from Vancouver and back which will add another 8k+ to it.

At the White Rock show today

Congrats! Looks like it has 10k, not 100k!

Hope to see you at the NCM 20th!

Enjoy that loooooooong drive and be safe!

Looks good without those horrid yellow wagon wheels. Thin spokes work on that car.

Lol ya! As a track car then yes I think the yellow rims would work - just look at all the wild NASCAR paint jobs! But they are waaay too much for the street... IMHO anyways!

Oh and as an update, those Asanti wheels that I had lined up, ended up getting sold so thin spokes is where I'll stay ... for now!

I noticed after installing my LMC5 I am at 101k and change. Ouch, 30k in 8 months, it might be a long couple years owning this car.

Is that miles or kilometers being Canadian just have to ask. Your car looks so much like "fun"! Have a safe trip home. Greetings, Rob

It's miles which is a little unfortunate because my mod money went to plugs, wires and tires this year
