Default The Big Number

Well I reached it. On my way out to the coast for a weekend of relaxing my 99 vert hit 100K. I got it almost 3 years ago at 66k I believe. Man it's been fun driving this car, and the with the exception of a few things here and there has been pretty gentle on me

Of course I have a list of things that can be fixed on it, but know that she's got quite a few miles left in her. A few new parts, a good detail and she'll be another 100 I hope! Appreciate all the help I've gotten on this forum and look forward to meeting up with the GTG gang soon and putting some more miles on this wonderful car. After all they were mean to be driven right???

Good to know these things last. Just out of curiosity what small things need to be fixed and do you know if the previous owner had to fix anything?


Congratulations on the milestone mileage.

Well the previous owners were my parents, before that the dealer, and it was loaned out to Gary Payton(formerly of the Sonics) not sure of history before that.

As for things I've had done on car: column lock fix, brakes/rotors, new tires, rebuilt 3-4 clutch pack on tranny, fuel filter, tune up, broken headlight motor, couple new bumpers due to parking lot bumps, new belt tensioner, new idler pully....so with the exception of tranny, mostly small things. Need to fix antenna and it's probably time for new shocks. All those things come with age I guess

And thanks!
