Default High Mileage

My 2004 Crossfire just passed 144,000 miles. I got into an accident with her last year, but they fixed her up good as new. Sunny SoCal encourages me to get out and drive more, even with the cost of premium fuel.

How many other people are well over 100k?

Congrats. I'm only at 88k on my 07. Does yours use any oil between changes?

Congrats on the high mileage. Personally I believe that the point of having a fun car is enjoying it, so the more miles the merrier.

I went 9,000 between oil changes this time and I was a 1/2 quart low. Even with 9k instead of the usual 7k, the oil looked fine.

Only 103,000 miles. Burns zero oil and still runs strong.

Oil is like a woman, looks can be deceiving.
Moral
Change your woman when you change your oil.

I drove an SRT-6 in Michigan just over a year ago. It had just over 210,000 miles then. It was STRONG and quite serviceable. The owner was a true "car guy" and kept it and from what I saw, everything he owned in superb condition. I made a huge error in judgement at not having bought it from him. It was sold to a person from Tenessee and I am guessing it is still going strong. The only issues were a couple of small rust spots from the MI. salt

Just a great car!

96K on an SRT6 roadster. Don't know if anyone's got more than that. Not to hijack your thread or anything. Congrats on keeping the car. I poured money into my 1991 Imperial until over 260K and traded it in for... a Crossfire!

I bought my SRT6 last March with 38+k and only put 3+k on it due to all the work putting all the engine and wheel mods, however, I plan on catching up with the higher mileage cars. I will drive it to as many shows as I can find in my area, planning on Carlisle, and making a wine country(N.Y.) tour. They are meant to be driven.

91,000 and I got it last summer with 76,000.

I bought it to use as my daily driver. I am on track for a fairly consistant 20,000 miles a year (@24 mpg).

I may pass you all up in a few years!

I was bored this morning so at the 88,500 mark I bought a set of front ceramic pads (Advance-Wearever CNAD 853 $40 ) .......the wear indicator light wasn't on....I just thought it was wise after 88,500 miles......local shop charged $60 labor. So parts + labor + tax = $108. Afterwards I asked to see the original pads....to my shock they looked like they could have gone another 40,000 miles????? They were at least 1/2 as thick still as the new pads......(I am the original owner).

Oh well, maybe the wheels will stay cleaner?


Has anyone ever seen the brake wear indicator light come on?
