Hit 100,000 miles last week!
Purchased brand new in august of 2005 and last week after 2 years and 4 months of ownership I hit 100 f-ing thousand miles.
Problems so far:
Had to replace stock clutch at 95k (damn that 340 whp-fried my clutch out)
rear wing clear coat peeled.
climate control bulb switch is screwy
I went through 3 sets of brake pads
I went through 5 sets of tires
I went through 4 sets of plugs
I went through 5 changes of tranny, diff fluids
I went through 27 oil changes (once a month)
I went through 1 cooland flush
The car went from CT to FL twice, to Buffalo, to Canada, vermont like 20 times (season pass snowboarding)
With all of this said, I also have another car, a s2000 with 70,000 miles on it. Oh with no accidents and no tickets (have gotten pulled over at least 5 times- but no convictions but thats because I am a lawyer and get out of them) muahaha. O'Doyle rules.

How many timing belt changes?
Are you scared of flying or something?
Keep on trucking.

Def not afraid of flying, work takes me many places. But I love road trips for pleasure.
