Just Reached 150k!!
So my 92 pearly just reached 150k today!
Looks like it's all downhill from here.. Or is it uphill..?
Or will it keep moving at all? Unfortunately,
I have no idea on where to go from here and what I
should have replaced/checked. Anybody got any advice
or input?

Wow your good. The thought just hit me a minute ago that I will just have OT do a complete check up and tell me what he thinks I should have done to it besides the ball joints.

You sir, are a psychic...

lol not psychic, just common sense. I drove from the Pittsburgh area to have OT work on my car and you are in his back yard practically!! It a no-brainer. If I lived that close to OT I would be broke spending all my money on my SVX.

Re: Just Reached 150k!!
Lol I drove from Fayetteville NC to visit good ol tom. In Frederricksburg VA my thermostat stuck close. He came and got me (6hrs round trip). Then I had him drive down the day before elections to replaced my trans =D. Did I mention he cursed my car due to the Christen virus?

Ha! That's what I was about to say. I never have money cause I'm always looking for something more to be done to my car. I think my family is worried.. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs.. But I'm addicted to the SVX...

Really depends on what's been done lately, but you might want to start shopping around for an AC compressor. In the past couple of years I've shelled-out for that (x2), an alternator, a half shaft, an ABS sensor, front wheel bearings, 2 tone wheels, a power steering rack, a throttle position sensor, accessory belts... but really, none of this is extraordinary for a pair of cars with 150,000+ miles, and only the ALT and drive belt failure were sudden and wholly unexpected (and in both instances I still got home).

Congrats on the milestone.
