My '99 coupe with auto just turned 250K miles today. The following are by the numbers. 52 Mobil 1 oil & PF44 filter changes, 19 A917C air filters, new AC spark plugs @ 142K, new GM shocks @ 181K, new belts @ 205K, new brake pads @ 223K (original rotors never turned). Still original: battery, coolant, trans & diff fluids. MPG = 29.546. Including the original tires: 4 sets of fronts, 3 sets of rears (all GY EMT), one set of GY EMT snows with 28K that will be remounted today. Five alignments (more than all my previous cars combined).

 

Wow. Those are some nice stats. Thanks for gathering that info. Just goes to show how long the new types of motors will last and cars in general if maintained.

 

Holy S---! :cool: :cheers:

 

WOW!!!!!

 

WOW Those are great stats :cheers: That puts a big :D on my face!!! Hopefully my vette will provide me with close to the great service as your C5 has. This is truly a testiment on how providing proper maintaining on something yielding great returns...

I hope she provides you with even greater service.

 

:cool: wow,that's getting your monies worth. look forward to putting a few of those miles on mine. :flag

 

If you get to 1,000,000 GM just may give you a C6 :) :lol:

 

You should get a K&N, wait for the 1million mile warrenty to run out!! :lol: :lol: That vette has seen some road!! :cheers:

 

I was wondering how far my 99 A4 would go before conking out but now I have nothing to fear. How strong is your engine now as opposed to when it was new?

 

Music to my ears!!! :seeya

 

outstanding!!!!!

 

:cheers: That's Awesome! These cars truly do ROCK! :smash:

MTI 427 Roadster f/k/a Nitrovette :chevy :flag

 

Wow! :eek: That is amazing. Must be around 150 miles a day. What a testamonial to C5 quality. Do you ever get tired of driving your Vette? :lol:

 

That is simply awesome. Good to hear about news like that. Heres to wishing you to another 250K on her and more! :cheers:

 

Just about like new. Doesn't even use oil between oil changes of 5W30 Mobil 1

 

Don't have time to get tired. I'm too busy driving it.

 

I thought I drove my F-150 a lot with 80 K miles since early 1999. Now I don't feel so bad!

 

WOW, i only have 22,000 miles on my baby since 2000 she's going on her 3rd b-day. i never got that kind of mileage when i was stock

 

Michigan is nice and flat. Put it on cruise & drive all day on the interstates. Only time I have to brake is when I get off and visit my customers. Actually, I do break more than that but I log so many highway miles that it just seems that way.

 

And to think you did it without Redline...and all the other junk that is advertised....good job. I ave 50 k per year on mine.
