Count me in. My 01 only has 110k on it but I am in for the long haul so to speak. I am with Big Blue, when the body starts falling out comes the duct tape.

I plan to have mine for forever! However, hopefully someday I'll be out of college making some money and can afford to buy another toy. But right now I'm at 260K and still rolling them up. Shooting for at least 500,000 and more if I have too.

At about 250,000 now, and still running strong. Only things I've had to do are brakes, several sensors, etc.; nothing major, by any means. I'll be REAL disappointed if I don't get at least 500,000.

I'll keep mine till someone makes one that is better, but then I'll have to wait awhile because I won't buy new. I like to wait untill someone gets the silly @#!# fixed.


P.S. 225000 and just getting started on BOMBS.

I'm at 173K, I have done no repairs to the motor, only mild bombs. I plan on taking her all the way to the end, and If I go first, then I'll give it to a future son. If someone wants to sponsor fuel costs, I'll just drive my truck up and down the freeway nonstop, its that fun to drive My dad and I get to take our trucks on a 4K mile round trip in a couple of weeks, I can't wait. Plowing is the best, I can just turn the radio down and listen to the beast rumble away.... Then I have to get out and shovel the sidewalks

500K sound good for me... I think I can get there but it will take some time being I average 25K a year!

Like other have said... I've still got my car from High School. 1973 Dodge Charger SE. This car has over 339,000+ miles! Hate to say it but the third engine and second tranny. When I was a punk kid - I drove like I stole it!

Problem... I still do!!!!

I had to upgrade to the truck below in hopes not to blow it up!

Only 88K so far, but if I can keep the dang road salt from eating away everything 500K would be great (might even get the note back from the bank by then), but I love my ride way too much to give up there.... looking to make the 1M mark if i'm still sucking air by then, only avergaging 40K/yr just driving to work and back.

I'd be really happy getting to 198,078. Right now I'm at 198,077. Every time I spend money on BOMBS, something un-related goes south.

Last week my input shaft went. Apparently it took my lift pump with it......

I plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off (which with my luck lately, might be soon).
