    Congrats Rick. She's a looker. Amazing how long and how well these cars run and maintain their beauty.

    Hey Russell. How are you? Hope everything is well. Congrats on 226,000! These cars are strong runners. She has been extremely reliable during my ownership and never left me stranded. I have no plans to sell or trader either.

    Looking to hit 400,000 miles sometime this Summer. Unfortunately I'm seeing a bit of aging on mostly bolt on parts. Mine looks no where as nice as yours. I still drive it on 1000+ mile business and college kid pick up trips. Probably the best all around car I've owned, especially with the 5 speed and good mechanical care by two PO's and Mobil 1 15w50 for most of it's life.
