Congrats, it really is all downhill from 100k. The wheel bearings all go out at the same time. The brakes begin to show their age. The CV axles will go out....

Just kidding

Wait til you kit 150k. That is when the big dopey smile will hit your face.

I turned over 100k in my SVX four years ago, and it's still been a very reliable car.

Here's to another 100k, man.

Congratulations. 100K is nothing; she's just hitting her stride.

I kicked myself a few months back for not noticing when mine turned over 111,111.

Chike,
You do realize, don't you, that you've violated the sacred rule of taking a picture of your speedo reading 100mph while the odo turns over to 100,000

That's just wrong Shelfy.... .... There are some of us here that would give out left (or right) nut to have an SVX as new as yours...
